Overview

Directly in front of Thong Sala Pier sits a daily evening market that multiple independent travel guides call the "Thong Sala Night Market" — the same location appears as "Pantip Market" on Google Maps. Unlike the Saturday-only Walking Street Market further up Thong Sala's old Chinese Street, this market opens every day, from about 4pm through to around 11pm, and is best known for the island's largest concentration of fresh and grilled seafood stalls rather than crafts or clothing.

Food & drink

The standout draw is seafood — grilled fish, squid and shellfish alongside the island's usual street-food staples, sold from more than 50 stalls once the market is in full swing in the evening. It is a practical, everyday option for residents rather than a once-a-week event.

03

Getting there & nearby areas

The market sits directly in front of Thong Sala Pier, the same landing point for ferries to and from Koh Samui and Surat Thani — an easy stop when arriving, departing, or living nearby in Thong Sala. It's a short walk from the town's banks, pharmacies and the separate Saturday Walking Street Market on Chinese Street.
