Hua Thanon Fish Market

An easy small local market in Samui where visitors can support local people here. Even buy a drink and sit dow for a view is already worth coming here.

Very nice fish market ..the fish is very fresh and it is a busy place

Greta fish on offer at good prices, usually have to get there in the morning for the full selection though.

Great Fish market for you cooking needs. Better selection before lunch and not all ice has melted. I sample 1kg fresh prawns 350bht, 2kg mackerel for 350bht.

Local catch of the day was available in the market like tuna, coral fish, golden threadfin bream etc. Some were seasonal. Other seafood like shrimps, prawns, squid, octopus and fish could be found there. Vegetables, eggs, snacks and some herbs were available too. Prices were relatively lower than those near the tourist area.

In Ko Samui, a market place like this is very rare to find. The market is not very big but you can get things like nuts and dry foods. My team mates bought white onions claiming that the quality is great. Nearby you can walk by the beach and take some photos. Not far from there you can reach the famous Hainan chicken rice shop.

Hua Thanon Wet Market is a very small local market that is truly authentic. Hua Thanon is still a real fisherman's village, one of the oldest areas on the island, and what's caught off the coast here is still actually sold in the village. A few tourists come to visit, but it's nothing like the other more touristy markets around. I would definitely recommend a quick hour visit to the area to enjoy the beautiful ocean views in a real fisherman's village and see and enjoy the abundance of the market.

Very interesting to see how local Thai people live and make a living. You could say this is the real fisherman's village. Plenty of local produce available. This is not at all touristy and aimed very much at local people, our tour man asked us if we wanted to see a quieter side to the island.
