A great place for a seafood brunch
This should be on most travelers must do list if visiting this area and you like delicious seafood. The market itself has a great selection of seafood and other items at very reasonable prices. You can then have this cooked by any number of restaurants just outside. My friends and I had scallops, prawns and a small whole fish, all of which was cooked beautifully. This is not Michelin star dining but the flavours are certainly worth 3 stars for sure. I'll certainly be back to enjoy another brunch. A word of warning: weekends are not a great time to go, because this place gets super busy. Another word of warning: the markets are a full of seafood so there's a lot of water on the ground from melted ice. Don't wear your designer white clothes and expect them to be the same color when you leave!!

Fresh sea food
There are 3 areas of this market. The first is the dried market whereby the Thais sell their dried food such as dried shrimps, cuttlefish, and other dried seafood plus some food stalls. The second area which is behind the dried market is another area that traders sell their wet sea items to customers. You just cannot buy the sea items such as prawns, craps and have them cook these here. In order to eat the sea food , you need to walk about 50 meters past some buildings to another area that is near the sea. Here is the third area, where there are 6 or 7 stalls that will fry and bake the sea food that you just purchased from the traders that are just behind the BBQ stalls. You need to buy noodles, rice , drinks from different stalls located in this area. The sea food that you purchased will be weighted and bill to you. You can bargain a bit to reduce the price. The BBQ stalls will count what you have, such as how many kilos of prawns, quantity of fish, cuttlefish and will give you a piece of paper with a number and the price on that paper. You pay the price such as THB 80 for the seafood that they BBQ or bake for you. Lose that paper and you will have problems getting your food. Please make sure that when you buy noodles, rice from these stalls do make sure that they give you empty plates, plastic spoons, knifes and forks. Eating places are nearby with plastic low tables and chairs. And make sure that the table and chairs belong to that BBQ stall. Dustbins to dump your rubbish are nearby.
