Highlights of Malin Plaza Patong
The main part of Malin Plaza Patong is protected from the elements under a high metal roof. The semi-permanent shops inside the market occupy former shipping containers. They are well spaced, ensuring that the air remains cool and refreshing – some shops go 1 step further by installing windows, doors, and air conditioning. The prices are maybe a touch higher than you might find in other Phuket markets, but you can still haggle down to an agreeable level.
The highlight of the market is the impressive array of food stands in front of the roofed space. You can find just about anything, from Thai street food, fried chicken and chips to crepes, ice cream, sushi, 90-baht cocktails and fresh fruit. The food throughout the market is very good and cheap for Patong.
