Talad Khlong Hae Morning Market

Songkhla, Thailand

A Muslim fishing village market where traditional Malay kuih and southern Thai curries are sold from wooden stalls built over a tidal estuary.

About this place

This tidal market operates from 5:30-9:00 AM and is built on stilts over the estuary, with vendors arriving by traditional fishing boats. The market specializes in southern Thai-Muslim cuisine including roti canai, kanom krok coconut cakes, and incredibly spicy gaeng som. The stilt walkways can be slippery during high tide, so wear good shoes. Local tip: the curry vendor in the blue hijab makes the most authentic gaeng tai pla in the region.
