Banzaan Fresh Market

Banzaan Fresh Market in Patong is definitely a must-visit. It’s one of the most enjoyable places to explore and taste a wide variety of local food and drinks. You can sample so many different flavors and discover authentic local products all in one place. I personally went especially for the fruit stalls and loved it. You can buy any fruit individually, which makes it perfect for trying new things without committing to large portions. It’s a great spot if you want to taste local specialties and explore Thai flavors. The stall owners are also very kind and helpful to tourists, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Patong!

This place is amazing! You pick out your own live seafood downstairs from the market, then bring it upstairs to the foodcourt to be cooked. Lots of food stalls with different menus to choose from. We did lobster, prawns, and scallops. Also had a few other thsi dishes and some Singha beer of course. Be sure to negotiate a little for the price of the seafood from the downstairs market. Lots of locaks were eating here. Definitely check it out.

Plenty of live seafood to choose from — just pick what you want downstairs and bring it up to be cooked. It’s definitely not the cheapest, but worth trying at least once. Just be careful not to get too greedy, haha! We went for lobster and ended up adding fish, clams, crab, and shrimp — it turned out quite pricey per person, but still good value compared to my home country.
