Wake Up Early and Head to a Local Market – Good for the Stomach, Great for the Community.
A new day begins… Try waking up a little earlier and take a stroll through a local community market in Phuket Old Town.
It’s not just about the delicious smells in the air — it’s the charm of the people, the culture, and that warm southern hospitality that makes it truly special.
Steaming hot dim sum from “Boonta Dim Sum”. Try their har gow, pork dumplings, and soft steamed buns — only 10–20 THB per basket. Tasty and affordable!
Crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside roti from “Roti Taew Nam”. Best enjoyed with chicken curry or a fragrant cup of Thai pulled tea (cha chak).
Southern-style rice noodles (kanom jeen) at “Kanom Jeen Mae Ting”. Choose from rich crab curry, spicy fish kidney curry, or sweet chili paste — served with plenty of fresh veggies.
Pan-fried eggs and traditional coffee at “Rong Kopy”. A retro-style café with a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere — just like grandma’s house.
So rise a little earlier, explore the market, and treat yourself to some local delights. You just might fall in love with the simple, high-quality way of life here.
