Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come hungry and bring cash. This is a sprawling open-air food market where you order and pay at individual stalls, find a table, and the food is brought to you. Thai barbecue and satay are the main attractions, but the selection is much broader: fried and salted fish, papaya, corn, and cucumber salads, Indian stalls with delicious korma, and some Western dishes if someone in your group is concerned about the spiciness. Prices are typical for a market frequented more by locals than tourists—this also applies to the beer.

There's live music most evenings, and it's really loud. Guests who sat near the stage recommend earplugs. It's easier to find a table further back, and there are plenty of seats. The only downside is the ordering system at some of the stalls: set menus are given priority, which annoys guests who just want to order two skewers.
