Phli Port Fishing Market sits against the fishing pier in Chonburi town and opens on Saturday evenings only, which is why it fills so quickly. It reads as a market for the neighbourhood rather than one built for visitors.
What people come for
The catch comes off boats moored right there, so prices tend to undercut markets further inland. Steamed crab, grilled prawns and oysters are what people come deliberately for — eat at the tables on site, or have it boxed to take away.
What is on sale changes week to week with the boats; no two Saturdays are identical.
Parking
The market is down a lane in a shorefront neighbourhood, and space is limited — it fills fast after 17:30. Come before then, or allow time to find a space.
