Thailand does many things with extravagance and a blatant disregard to hold back in terms of scale. From shopping malls to theme parks to events, the sheer scale of the things that Thailand has to offer is large enough to make it the next biggest entertainment hub after Dubai. One such extravagant case is the Night Market of Koh Phangan, where you can find the most epic display of food Thailand has to offer. If you’re planning on an international visit, there’s many a Koh Phangan resort to choose from such as Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas.

 

When night falls on the small island of Ko Pha Ngan, a parking lot begins its transformation to a food-lover’s paradise. Once the market is in full swing it is recommended to do a walk around the entire place before deciding on which food to try out. Quite a few of the stalls contain the full spectrum of Thai street food ranging from fried-food to the iconic Phad Thai. There are also various stalls that will allow you to custom-make your own version of the iconic dish, with all the available ingredients laid before you to choose from.

 

The food at this legendary night-market doesn’t simply end at Thai, and you can discover cuisines from a variety of cultural influences. There will be an Italian stall serving authentic thin-crust Pizzas as well as Calzones, there’ll be a Japanese stall with Sushi, and there’ll be plenty of Barbeque stalls serving up everything from squid-on-a-stick to roast chicken.

 

No matter what you eat, a culinary journey is incomplete without an unforgettable dessert, and you’re guaranteed to find some of the most immaculately prepared and jaw-dropping sweet delights at the incredible Ko Pha Ngan night market.
