Bophud Fisherman's Village Walking Street

Bophud Fisherman's Village Walking Street

Every Friday evening Bophud's Fisherman's Village turns into a very popular Walking Street. If Plenty of things are on sale, being in Thailand it's mainly food but also plenty of different clothing, partly second hand, partly cheap bargains and plenty of other things are on sale as well.

If I remember correctly, Nathon started this but Fisherman Village took over the plan and made it a very successful re-occurring event in it's 2 streets.

Get there early but even than, parking will be a bit of a problem so be prepared to walk a few hundred meters to the entrance. Once there, the atmosphere is very laid back and at various points you can sit, kick back and have a drink or two and a bite to eat.

Thai food is all over the place, no surprise there but also one or two of the more expensive restaurants join in and offer tastes off their menu for a decent price. The picture above has Khao Gliap, Thai sweets on offer, as fresh as they can be made straight on the spot.

Some areas have music or other forms of entertainment, like the kids above who perform a classic Thai dance all dressed up and ready to go!

When in Thailand do as the Thais and that involves lots of Thai food! Here's a stand offering Ho Mok Pla ห่อหมกปลา and various other Ho Moks. A real treat and a nice variation on your daily Pad Thai! The nice thing that I liked about this Walking Street is the variety of freshly made food and plenty of local things to be had as well.

Well worth a visit, each Friday! Apparently Lamai also has a Walking Street event each week but I'm not sure on what day of the week that is scheduled.
