Rawai Seafood Market
ตลาดซีฟู้ดราไวย์
A seafood market on the shore of Rawai fishing village where you buy lobster, crab and shellfish, then have a restaurant across the road cook them. Prices are lower than in Patong.
Rawai Beach is a fishing village and longtail boat pier at the southern tip of Phuket. The seafood market on the shore is run by fishermen, including the Moken, known as sea gypsies. Lobster, tiger prawns, crabs and shellfish are sold by weight. You then take your purchase to a restaurant across the road for cooking, at about 100 baht per kilogram. Compare prices and check the weighing before buying to avoid substitutions. The nearby pier can arrange longtail boats to small islands, and in the evening you can stop at Promthep Cape to watch the sunset.
