Where to have lunch on the go Thailand

In the early evening, part of Dechanuchit Street is transformed into a night market where clothes, jewellery, handicrafts and other typical souvenirs are sold and of course many food stalls of all kinds. Many stands offer all kinds of tempting dishes at really competitive prices: khao phat (fried rice), tom yam, grilled chicken, doughnuts, sausages, fried or grilled fish... The best stand is undoubtedly the Moo Sea Food: beautiful presentation, fresh and well-cooked products... A treat!

Don't miss the Talad Nampu day market, offering local produce, clothing and more. Note that this walking street market also transforms into a night market every Saturday and Sunday evening. A series of trailers set up in the streets offer good, affordable food: noodle soups, seafood fried rice, kebabs, cut-up fruit... A great opportunity to sample local specialties!

In the absence of a tempting restaurant in the city centre, this market is really worthwhile. The stands are set up at the end of the afternoon and dismantled around 9pm. So don't be too late: at 10pm, the place is deserted. Many locals come here to shop or eat on the spot: a large choice of local specialities at unbeatable prices. Don't hesitate to taste the honey chicken cooked over a wood fire in a large terracotta jar or the ribs of pigs. Anyway, it's cheap and it's very good.

This market takes place every day, along the main avenue and near the city hospital. Another night market opens just across the street every Monday. To eat cheaply, as everywhere in Thailand, however here the difference is that this market is 99% frequented by locals, so you will find authentic (and sometimes very spicy) recipes of the region at low prices. You will have to get over the language barrier, you can for example show the table of the neighbors to indicate the desired dish.

Oh! Good bread like at home! Breakfast with croissants, pain au chocolat, coffee "du vrai" to take on the spot or to take away... This bakery changes into a simple and very good quality restaurant for lunch. With a menu of 13 homemade burgers, sandwiches, but also homemade hamburgers, pasta, pan bagnats that remind us of the French Riviera's seaside ... Anyway, don't hesitate to take what you want, it's all good!

A warm café located in an old building in the old town has recently changed its name while keeping more or less the same concept as its predecessor, the Old Times Café. Excellent coffee, breakfast formulas, snacks (excellent pad thai among others), pastries... to be taken rocked by a soft jazz or lounge music. This old house has a large pontoon overlooking the harbor to relax and admire the magnificent view. The place also serves as an art gallery with exhibitions upstairs. Concerts.
