Thailand
Krabi's night market is wonderful - tonnes of different foods to try and all fantastic and so cheap. The atmosphere is relaxed but exciting too, and there's a real community feel as most of the town turn up at some point during the evening. A must!
Ruen Mai restaurant on Maharat Road caters to the higher-end market and serves deliciously authentic food. The restaurant has both inside and outside seating areas and is landscaped to produce a ‘jungle’ effect. Although the prices are dearer than the local night markets, the food is still low-priced and of better quality than the tourist resort restaurants.
Krabi is famed for its food and there is no better place to experience cheap freshly cooked quality dishes than at the absurdly priced Chao Fah Pier night market next to Krabi River on Khong Kha Road.
This is a little cafe on the road down to the night market in Krabi. They make the best and most refreshing coconut and pineapple shakes ever, and also do fantastic burgers, biscuits, and other non-thai type food for if you're feeling noodled out. The owners are very friendly and can give great tips about where's good to go in Thailand to get off the tourist trail a bit.
