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

Eat first, then shop. That's my tip. The stalls selling souvenirs, clothing, handicrafts, and accessories are perfect for browsing, and you won't be bothered. However, many of them offer almost identical goods. So, if you're looking for something unusual, you'll find it quickly. The Food Hall is the real reason to visit: Here you'll find freshly prepared Thai dishes, snacks, and desserts at fair prices. You'll also find an unusual collection of Australian-style restaurants there – something you wouldn't necessarily expect in Patong.

The entire complex is clean and well-organized, and you can walk through it completely in 20 to 30 minutes with a few stops along the way. Arrive shortly after opening, and it will be almost empty, making browsing much more relaxed. It fills up as the evening progresses. Seafood ordered by weight can be coated in a thick layer of breading, so I recommend dishes where you can see the individual ingredients.
