While this sprawling market has the usual selection of clothes, shoes, souvenirs, household goods, and even a hairdresser, the most interesting part is the fresh produce section, although it is not for the squeamish or for vegetarians! Women wielding cleavers hack apart pigs, their stalls strewn with chunks of meat and bowls of intestines, and even whole faces. In other sections you will find platters piled with chicken heads and feet and bowls full of live frogs, fish, eels and snails. Stacks of fresh herbs, coconuts and dried chillies add a contrastingly pleasant aroma to the atmosphere.
