Walk around to check transportation information from 8 AM.

Tuktuk fare : 130B

motorcycle fare : 60B

  Heading for Thailand and Cambodia border  

I had reasonable choice that was motorcycle.

Because this is one person trip.

Took a video from Aranyaprathet Transport Station until in front of the market.
Along the way, there are fast forward parts.

Check the information to get back from this driver.
Taxi stand is around the gate.
Motorcycle fare on the way back is 80 B.
The fare is different from the one on the way to Border.
I did not ask deeply about why this is.

The notation of the market's entrance gate is as follows.

Golden Gate Plaza

Friendship Border Market

There was no notation as Rong Kluea Market here.

I thought that I got off in the wrong place then.
First of all, I will take a walk around this area.

  Walk in the market  

Time to start walking is around 10 AM.

There are not many visitors yet.

There are Seven Eleven convenience stores more than I thought.
This country is hot, so it is very grateful existing to cool place.

Toilet

It is necessary to check the toilet in such places.
It was easy to find.
There seems to be a number of it.

The fee is 5B.
I can walk with no worries if check the location of the toilet.

Rental vehicle

According to information I got, the site area of this market seems to be very large.
It seems to be more than four times bigger than Chatuchak Weekend Market.
It's too large to take around all the site on foot.
Therefore, there are many rental shops here.

Price Information

Rental motorcycle : 3H 100B.
Rental Cart : 1H 100B,  3H 250B etc.
Prices are slightly difference depending on the store.

This time I walked here on foot.

Because I thought to walk around looking carefully.

Found Rong Kluea notation board in the market during walk.

  Lunch time  

I was hungry so I had an early lunch.

After walking in the market, I decided to eat at this restaurant.

I requested a menu at the table.

However, the answer that there is no menu.

I have a magic spell of this time.

khao man kai

There is no bad it.

  Thetsaban 2 Market  

According to Google map, there is a market at a little distance from Border market.

I visited there on foot.

It looked more like a bus terminal than a market.

Ticket desks for each direction were lined up.

There was a bus to Bangkok and was also Tuktuk.

This is an impression that is not so crowded as a market.

To be continued.
