PHUKET WEEKEND MARKET

The Phuket Week End divides into two sections - covered and open. In the covered section you'll find secondhand items with a huge selection of jeans, T-shirts, curios, objects that don't appear to have any function but simply look good and touristic souvenirs such as carvings and religious images. Outside in the 'new' section you will find stall after stall selling fluffy toys, mobile phones, all sorts of electronics, DVDs and CDs, shoes, bags, jewelry and fashion accessories, watches, more clothes and everything but the kitchen sink. To the right of the main entrance is the food part. Here, you can gorge on delicious boiled buttered corn on the cob, spicy sausages, grilled chicken, fishcakes, exotic fruit and even deep-fried insects. And of course you can wash your snack down with an ice-cold beer.
