Tips for Gastronomy

Eat at the Night Markets

They are the best way to try a wide variety of cheap, authentic Thai food. From pad thai and skewers to desserts and fried insects.

The Spicy Level

Southern food is spicy. If you don't tolerate spicy well, learn to say 'mai phet' (not spicy). If you like it, say 'phet phet'.

Try Seafood in Rawai

Go to the Rawai Seafood Market in the south of the island. You choose the fresh seafood directly from the fishermen's stalls and then cross the street to one of the restaurants that will cook it to your liking for a small price.
