Old Takua Pa Sunday Market, Takua Pa

The market is a unique cultural experience. Drawing guests from as far away as Phuket this market is a unique experience and a “must do” for anyone in the area. Only on Sundays this outing is a complete treat for the senses especially your taste buds. Different foods, all delicious and seemingly everywhere it is truly an opportunity to connect with amazing culinary delights presented under the guise of street food. Music and bustling streets packed with coffee shops, Chinese tea houses, assorted clothing items and amazing foods. This market is different...a lot different than traditional markets tourists throng to in the Resort towns. It is a fantastic way to enjoy an afternoon and embrace real Thailand. If you would love to just find a little spot to enjoy a beer and watch the people go by there is only 1 that I know of...(and I looked!) This place is located almost at the end of the market. Follow the street down until you are getting near the last vendors and look off to your right. You will see a store that has tables set up and the veranda and is usually busy with foreigners enjoying a few beers. This is one of the only places where you can buy beer on Culture Street and relax for a while. :) This market may be one of the major draws for Takuapa Old Town however there is much more to see do, enjoy and experience in this town. Beautiful temples and cultural attractions around every corner of you take the time to explore (or take a tour on one of the many Old Town Tours offered on arrival.) Oh and PS... music and traditional entertainment is everywhere.

Local Food Market Must do We enjoy it. Many different local food specialities. Many local peoples are there. Visit the market after 6 pm before it is very hot and the sun burns down.
