Eating in rural Isaan revolves around the local village market.
Each village can host the market only 3 days a week.
On the other 4 days, you have to venture out to the next village market.
Food is cooked at home by the vendors and transported to the local market.
Large trays of home-made Isaan food are then divided up into plastic bags to take home and reheat.
Meals range from 30 thb to 50 thb each.
This us how many people earn a living in Isaan.
They survive on what they earn selling in the local market.
You can literally find any kid of Isaan food you want, so selection is never an issue.
Market food is cheaper than cooking at home, the main reason why markets are busy.
