Banzaan Fresh Market
Step into the "life" of the people, not the "tourist spot".
If you are staying at Patong Beach in Phuket, you should definitely stop by Banzaan Fresh Market.
This is not just a market.
It is an "experiential tourist spot" packed with local food culture, life, and vitality.
It is gradually gaining attention as a place where you can experience the "real Phuket" that is a little different from tourist spots.
👀Highlights✨
Step inside and you'll find yourself in a Southeast Asian food wonderland✨🌶️
The market is simply colorful and lively!
On the first floor, fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, and fruits are lined up,
like a food theme park🎡.
🦐Live shrimp and crabs are lined up,
🥭Tropical fruits such as mangoes, rambutans, and durians are piled high...
Just walking around stimulates your senses!
Even though it's a market, it's clean and safe◎✨
It's designed with tourists in mind, so even beginners can shop and look around with peace of mind.
The "food stalls you can eat on the spot" on the second floor are highly recommended🍽️🔥
The biggest reason why Banzaan Market is so popular is that
the seafood and ingredients you purchase can be cooked at the food court on the second floor!
🧑🍳"Stir-fry these shrimp!"
👩🍳"Crab with chili sauce?"
You can order like a local.
The cooking fee is about 50 to 100 baht per plate, and the taste is authentic🔥
Unlike Thai food stalls, you can have the fresh ingredients you choose cooked to your liking here!
🍚Recommendations:
• Seafood fried rice
• Garlic fried shrimp
• Steamed crab with nam chim seafood sauce
A must-see for food lovers! Plenty of sweets and drinks available🍹🍡
The fun continues after the meal!
On the second floor, there are many Thai sweets and juice stands🍧
• Khao Niao Mamuang (Mango sticky rice)
• Coconut pudding with tapioca
• Fresh smoothies (dragon fruit, guava, etc.)
And it's a hidden gourmet spot that's affordable for those who are tired of tourist prices. The sight of local children and aunties munching on snacks while laughing on their way home from shopping is also soothing.
