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

Hidden away in Bo Put, in the hinterland of Chaweng, this international food park brings together a diverse array of cuisines under one roof – from Thai street food classics like Pad Thai to unexpected offerings such as Ukrainian dishes and freshly squeezed juices. Thanks to its relaxed open-air market atmosphere, visitors can sample a wide variety of food at multiple stalls in a single visit, making it ideal for groups or families with different tastes.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with thoughtful details that set it apart from a typical food court. Some tables are set into metal frames with integrated swings, allowing guests to gently rock while they eat – an original touch that families especially appreciate. A separate children's play area, live music, and clean restrooms contribute to the family-friendly ambiance. Dishes particularly praised by visitors include chicken dumplings and freshly prepared Pad Thai.

The market is set up like a night market and is therefore best visited in the evening. Since it's still relatively undiscovered, it's generally quieter than the busier tourist centers of the island, which benefits the vendors. It's advisable to bring cash, as smaller market stalls in Thailand typically don't accept card payments.
