You’ve chosen the right place — the Rawai market always offers the freshest seafood. It’s located next to the Sea Gypsy Village, so the catch goes straight from the boat to the stalls. We’ve also written about other seafood markets in Phuket here.

The availability of seafood at the Rawai market depends on the daily catch. Here’s what we recommend: if you just want to buy seafood to take home, it’s best to go early in the morning. But if you want to have dinner right at the market (they can cook the fish or seafood you choose), then it’s better to come in the evening. That’s exactly what many visitors do.
