Pantip Market in Phangan - cheap food and meeting place
Pantip Market is a market in Tong Sale, or rather, the food court in Thong Sal, which is both a local attraction and a common place for a snack, and a point of return for daytime tramps who are going to chat, laugh and eat in the evening for conditional money. Pantip Market has a large selection of food, but of course Asian and European cuisines prevail. It looks the same as any other food market in Thailand - the main hangar building without walls (that is, a roof with stalls around the perimeter) with tables in the center of the covered space, and the road to it, densely packed with pockends.

Pantip Market
A place where many interesting and strange people, pink tourists and smoked long-livers of Phangan gather. Very often, it is here that everyone appoints a place to meet, eat and chat at the same time. For an inexperienced person, Pantip Market on Phangan is a noisy, bright, smelling and tasty place where you can eat inexpensively, buy cheap and crazy necks, in short - they remain with a lot of emotions and impressions. Experienced people will say that Pantip Market is an ordinary Thai food court, perhaps not spoiled by tourism and has not raised the prices for simple Thai food to the clouds, as is usually the case with resort areas. Prices are really average for the hospital - from 30 to 80 baht (this is if you do not have your eyes on seafood).
In addition to standard Thai food, there is a vegetarian cafe in the main building of the market. «Soul Organics» (pictured on the left in the corner) with a more than reasonable price and quality of preparation, an Italian cafe with pizza and wine, an Israeli cafe with falafel, hummus and pits. The street is full of makings with fruits, kebabs, rolls, sandwiches and other snacks.
All food on the market should not inspire you with fear (I am saying this for beginners now), and the low cost of dishes is not related to the quality and freshness of the starting products from the word «no way». Let me tell you a secret - 30-50 baht, this is the normal price for Thai street food, and Pantip is a common place to eat delicious food in Phangan. These are just tourists, nightmarish with price tags from restaurants, getting to the Pantip Market, they decide that they died and went to heaven..

Information to visit
It works from 12 to 22, but in the evening it is better to arrive at eight o'clock, because Thais do not really bother with the schedule and begin to close as early as nine o'clock.
Parking - on the side of the main street, there are no red and white curbs that prohibit parking. Keep in mind, you have to be careful with parking, they can get penalized, the police are constantly hanging out there. Also, the rights can be checked if their plan needs to be fulfilled.
Thais add to almost all dishes monosodium glutamate (flavor enhancer). Well, this is if you suddenly did not know and it is important to you.
