Notable landmarks of Koh Phangan, Big C is a popular shopping location set in the heart of Baan Tai Beach, and three times a week, parking space in front of the supermarket becomes a lively food market at which visitors can find a great choice of products, and local food, giving a real insight into local culture. |

 Big C food market, like Pantip food market in Thong Sala town, starts late afternoon when the heat of the day dissipates. The ranges of products on display at the market is definitely tourist oriented: from fluorescent Singha beer sleeveless T-shirts to Thai-style bags, scarves and sarongs to multi-coloured swimsuits and beachwear to flower-shaped soap carvings to Muay Thai (Thai boxing) shorts to branded (unofficially) watches and handbags to cheap jewellery – all affordable gifts and souvenirs to take back home. |

 A Thai market would not be a real Thai market without food and drink, and on this side, Big C food market has all the usual suspects when it comes to local delicacies and Thai street snacks. The food section of the market hosts a great choice of yummy finger food. Thai sweets (made from glutinous rice and coconut milk), sushi, fruit shakes, fried insects (maybe not that yummy), grilled or steamed meat, seafood and fish, spring rolls, fresh fruit (dragon fruit, papaya, and much more), plus a good choice of ready-made curry dishes. Gourmets and curious travelers will enjoy the opportunity to discover new flavours.
Summing up, any visitor to the Baan Tai Beach area should have a look at this picturesque market and enjoy a glimpse of southern Thailand’s local life: even if most of the products are tourist-oriented, the feeling and atmosphere of the place is genuinely Thai. |
