Open the appCherngtalay Fresh Market (Ban Manik)
Local Afternoon Market · Bang Tao, Phuket
Neighborhood market near Wat Manik, inland from Bang Tao: fresh produce, Thai takeaway dishes and fried insects.
Next to Wat Manik (Wat Thepwanaram), on Srisoonthorn Road, this market primarily serves locals: fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, dry goods and Thai dishes sold in bags or boxes. A stand of fried insects offers grasshoppers, crickets, silkworm chrysalises and bamboo worms. Prices are local: a 100฿ bill goes a long way. Not to be confused with the Friday tourist market on Boat Avenue.
Our local tip
For a first time, try the bamboo worms, crispy and salty; market runs Tuesday and Thursday late afternoon.
