Fisherman's Village Night Market
Bophut's beachfront Walking Street, every Friday from about 17:00, with street food, seafood, souvenirs and a relaxed local atmosphere.
This lot is mostly night markets, and half of them sit in Bo Put around Fisherman's Village, so you could walk between four of these in an evening without trying. Fisherman's Village Night Market tops it, though Lamai Fresh Food Market is the one I'd point you to if you want produce and ready-made Thai food rather than souvenirs.
