Naklua Fish Market, North Pattaya
Thailand is home to a seemingly infinite number of markets. Walking around and exploring them is a fun and unique experience for many visitors. Sometimes it might feel like a challenge as you try to determine what´s edible and what´s not; sometimes overwhelming as you try to maneuver your way through the crowds; and sometimes rewarding as you finally get that 20% discount you were bargaining long and hard for.
In the seaside town of Pattaya, one of the country’s best markets is the Naklua Fish Market, which specializes in, you guessed it…fish!
The relatively large market contains all kinds of seafood available to buy both fresh and cooked. There is more than just seafood too, as visitors will also find fresh vegetables, fruit and other items for sale.
The Naklua Fish Market offers almost unbelievable prices, making it a true shopper’s paradise. For example, massive prawns caught only hours prior may cost as little as 200 baht for a kilo, while fresh fish and other goods are even cheaper. To give you an idea of how cheap that is, these prices are roughly half of what you would pay would pay in a supermarket in Thailand.
Naklua is very popular with locals, and in addition to fresh fish provides an interesting insight into the daily lives of the Thai people who live in the area. If you’re planning on negotiating yourself a big deal, or just want a better understanding of what´s going on, it might be a good idea to go with somebody who speaks Thai, such as a local guide. Most locals here are more renowned for their expert fish knowledge, rather than their English. Alternatively, some old fashioned pointing and hand gestures should be enough to communicate want you want whilst still getting an honest price.
