Introducing 3 local markets within walking distance from Phitsanulok Station

Hello, this is Macchan.

As I introduced in the previous article ↑, I came to Phitsanulok province in the north to see Chinarat Buddha, which is said to be the most beautiful statue in Thailand.

When you go to a rural area, you definitely want to visit the local market along with the local tourist spots. It's a wonderful place where you can enjoy B-class gourmet food, buy local souvenirs, and get a glimpse of people's lives. This time we will introduce a local market located in the center of northern Phitsanulok province, within walking distance from JNR Phitsanulok Station.

thani market

This is a night market located about 2 minutes walk from JNR Phitsanulok.

At night, the lights from the stalls shine in the darkness, making it very beautiful. Like insects being attracted to fluorescent lights, I couldn't help but stretch my legs toward the light. You can enjoy shopping and eating at reasonable prices, not for tourists.

It is open every day from 17:00 to 22:00 and is crowded with locals every day. Fried spring rolls. Looks delicious. . Thai sushi.
I'd like to try it once, but it takes a lot of courage to compete with sushi sitting calmly in the 30 degree temperature. . . Someone please give me a pat on the back. A skewered restaurant for everything.
Look, the one that costs 3 baht (10 yen) is probably what is called a crab stick . My mindset is to just throw whatever I have on a skewer and roast it. But grilled crab is delicious and I might be able to eat it. Okaz bukkake rice restaurant.
It is common for Thai people to put food directly into plastic bags and take it home, which makes a lot of sense. There is no bulky waste, and there is no cost. Just be careful not to burst. The words "Favorite Deep Fried Insects". . Insect is that, right ?
Insector It's part of Mr. Haga's Insector. Yes, you were right.

They range from things like crickets to things like turtles and things like terraformers.

. There are more photos, but I'll keep them to myself.

By the way, I have eaten insects at a food stall in Pattaya, and they are delicious.

It's crunchy and makes a great snack for beer. Although there is a culture of eating insects in some parts of Japan, I don't think you will ever see such a wide variety of insects, so if you have the courage, please try some.

Ruamchai market

Ruam Chai Market is an arcade-style food stall located 500 meters south of JNR Phitsanulok Station, about a 5-6 minute walk.

There is a food stall area where you can eat and a food stall area that sells daily necessities such as shoes and clothing, so you can enjoy eating and shopping at the same time. It's nice that it has a roof so you don't have to worry about it even if it rains.
The restaurant closes at 7pm, so if you want to eat dinner, go early.

Inside is like this. It's quite spacious. There are also many food stalls lined up outside the roof. Thai Yakitori Gai Satay is insanely delicious.

There are none of the quirks that are common in Asian cuisine. When I visit Thailand, I always eat snacks at food stalls.

It's cheap at 10 baht (about 30 yen) each. You can eat a meal with just two of these. Please try the Gaisate at the food stall. Mangoes are also cheap!
Approximately 130 yen for 40 baht! In Japan, it costs about 400 yen at most. Thai mangoes are also sweet and delicious. There is also an eating and drinking space inside the arcade, so he can eat the food and dishes he purchases on the spot.

Phitsanulok Night Bazaar

Phitsanulok Night Bazaar is a night market located along Buttapcha Road on the banks of the Nan River.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Nishimura from Viking must have been here during Ii-Earth. There are many apparel stalls, colored contact lenses shops, smartphone case shops, etc., and it seems to be a date spot for local young people at night.

There are quite a lot of apparel stalls.

I was thinking of buying a nice T-shirt, but unfortunately I couldn't find one that made my heart flutter. . Colored contacts? Shop.
I'm an old man, so I don't know if this price is cheap or not. The expression of Gonta's thighs in Thailand.
I get it, you're hungry.

We enjoyed some window shopping and had dinner at the riverside restaurant "ร้านลุงช่วย (I can't read...)", which is located just past the night bazaar.

I ordered fried chicken with garlic, stir-fried water spinach, and khao pa. Even with beer, it cost about 240 baht (750 yen).

After all, local food has the best cost performance!

An extremely cute boy of elementary school age, who was probably the son of the female store owner, brought the bill. Since he wears glasses, we easily named him Nobita.
