Bophut Foodmarket — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

Delicious & Authentic Thai Food at amazing prices! The restaurant manager at our beach resort in Bophut recommended the food stands in this market, he’s from the UK and has been living here for 20 years and LOVES local food. So we believed him. He told us to check out the food vendors on right hand side located right at the entrance/opening of the market. We ordered 5 dishes from the third stand on the right side the one with the sign “Pork with Rice” (next to the lady who makes Papaya Salad). The food was the best we’ve had in Samui - flavorful, fresh with high quality ingredients... all for 300 Baht and handed over by the lady with a big warm smile 😊 I couldn’t believe it! I paid 300 Baht for ONE dish at a Thai restaurant near Fisherman’s Village the other day and it was super water downed mediocre food there. At this stall in the market, man who took our order spoke English and they had a menu with pictures and English descriptions. You will be in great hands.

There's no rip-off pricing, they are all lovely and friendly, there's (squat) toilets across the car park at the back too. We ate here every day and would absolutely...

Newly renovated, maybe 55% full for stalls now. Thai and western options. I tried FORK IT for western. Had a meat ball bagette THB160 and its served warm with cheese. If you know FORK IT from Fisherman's Village walking street or Green Marlet, they are great and now have a 6 day a week spot. Follow them on FB for specials and menu updates. Nice bench seating available through the market. Right now the whole area is clean. Open day and night. Hope it continues to grow as its a nice local spot. Large fruit stalls. Easy to park at the back for cars or side for motorbikes. Toilets at the back...
