little_me Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Gee, and I thought the cheeseburgers from the kart outside Nana Plaza was pushing my limits... (What ever happened to that kart? I haven't looked for it in a while, but used to have great cheeseburgers, much better that hooters, for sure.) Someone once told me they "harvested" those bugs with a can of raid. Ants, probably not, they bait pretty easy, but not sure how they kill / cook / etc., without crushing? Crickets, sounds plausible, good enough reason for me to avoid. Being a tourist, not needing household items, no kitchen to cook, I really don't have use for night markets. I get some people find them interested as attractions, but when you realize it's really just a grocery / general store and use it as such a few times the novelty gets thin. And then there the market in / around Patpong, which is all tourist driven and an annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an expert on night markets (tjhat's why i created this thread), but the ones i know are not groceries at all. The last one i visited, for example, in late 2019, in Petchaburi road (about 800 m from Platinum) was very far from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes fine with some beers, i think. Larva and scorpions, well, not yet. Ugh, can even imagine myself eating that. I guess the western world make me too soft :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. In fact, as far as i know, in rural areas they kill rabbits (but for harvests protection, i think). But, for urban people, rabbits are seen as pets.
