Market restaurants in Thailand

  1. Hua Thanon Market

    Slip into the rhythm of this village market slightly south of Lamai; a window into the food ways of southern Thailand. Vendors shoo away the flies from the freshly butchered meat and housewives load bundles of vegetables into their baby-filled motorcycle baskets. Follow the market road to the row of food shops delivering edible Muslim culture: chicken biryani, fiery curries or toasted rice with coconut, bean sprouts, lemongrass and dried shrimp.

  2. Night Market

    A heady mix of steam and snacking locals, Thong Sala's night market is a must for those looking for a dose of culture while nibbling on a low-priced snack. The best place to grab some cheap grub is the stall in the far right corner with a large white banner. Hit up the vendor next door for tasty seafood platters, such as red snapper served over a bed of thick noodles. Banana pancakes and fruit smoothies abound for dessert.

    Talat Somphet

    Located north of the Th Ratwithi intersection, this day market sells all the fixings for a Thai feast, including take-away curries, sweets and fruit. Many of the cooking schools do their market tours here. Unfortunately, the market’s proximity to the tourist area has encouraged the fruit sellers to be creative with their prices.

    Lamai Day Market

    The Thai equivalent of a grocery store, Lamai's market is a hive of activity, selling food necessities and takeaway food. Visit the covered area to pick up fresh fruit or to see vendors shredding coconuts to make coconut milk. Or hunt down the ice-cream seller for homemade coconut ice cream. It's next door to a petrol station.

    Thep-Pra-Sit Night Market

    Low prices and small portions make this popular night market the perfect spot to sample some local faves - just choose your 'delicacies' wisely. While nibbling on your street cuisine, browse stalls of knockoff clothes, shoes, accessories and CDs. To get here, grab a taxi or sŏrng·tăa·ou.
