BANGKOK, 22 May 2015 – The Thai Fruits and Vegetables Festival at Phadung Krung Kasem Canal was today bustling as ever with a great number of visitors coming to buy seasonal fruits and garden plants. The market drew customers as soon as it opened at 10 a.m. and became even more crowded towards 4 p.m. when the office hour was over.
Most visitors at the market agreed that holding such a market helped buyers in terms of decision making as they could ask for product details and negotiate with farm owners directly. They wanted the government to continue holding similar markets at the site.
Thai Fruits and Vegetables Festival opens until 31 May 2015 from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. at Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem Market next to the Government House.
