Why go, and how to do it well
Come here for the shopping locals actually do, not for souvenirs. Talat Roi Sao, the 100 Pillars Market, takes its name from the rows of pillars holding up its covered structure, and underneath them you'll find fresh seafood off the Gulf, fruit and vegetables, dry goods, street food and the sort of household bits nobody photographs. Prices are local prices, which after a few days on Koh Samet will feel like a correction.
Go early. The seafood and produce are at their best in the morning, and by mid-afternoon you're picking over what's left. If you're catching a ferry across to Samet, it's a sensible last stop for snacks and supplies before you're paying island rates for a bag of crisps. Anyone expecting a curated night-market experience with fairy lights and craft stalls will be disappointed, and rightly so. This is a food market that happens to sit near a tourist route.
