Phuket Town's main municipal fresh market on Ranong Road, a warren of stalls selling fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, herbs and dry goods at local prices.

Practical

Coordinate is the municipal fresh market building (OpenStreetMap way 268302807). Wikivoyage calls it the largest local market, a warren of stalls that 'can be hot and crowded'. Go early in the morning for the best produce and the coolest shopping. Ranong Road is also where the buses to the beaches and the airport leave from, and during the Vegetarian Festival it becomes the main food street. Bring cash in small baht notes and your own bags. Wash produce in treated water before stowing it.
