Chaweng Walking Street

Saturday night, fun and music.

Chaweng walking street has the feel of a market -- nothing fancy. You'll see many happy people buying cheap food and drinks and enjoying the festive yet calm atmosphere.

Koh Phangan

Much less developed than Koh Samui, Phangan feels more like a village.

Food Market near the lake

Parallel to the main street in Chaweng is a cheerful little food market, very colorful and filled with delicious food stands. Prices vary from cheap to expensive: 10 baht per sushi piece (ok), cut pineapple 100 (super expensive), plate of fried chicken 50 (good), Belgian waffle 20 (ok). 

Everything we ate was fresh and yummy, and the experience was much intensified by the colorful appearance of this street market. In the evening it becomes a little clubbier with lights and music coming from one of the stands that serves as a bar.

The only thing missing is tables where you can sit and eat your food, but that is easily remedied by crossing the street to the other side of the road where you'll find a beautiful, calm park looking at the lake, where stone and wood benches are available if you don't feel like sitting on the grass.
