Banzaan is a two-story market in the heart of Patong, where the ground floor overflows with mountains of tropical fruits and seafood, and the upper floor is a food court where this seafood is cooked right before your eyes.

The seafood selection is impressive: giant prawns, crabs, lobsters, shellfish, and fish of all kinds. You choose raw products downstairs, then go upstairs where chefs cook them to your taste for a moderate fee.

The market operates daily from morning to late evening. Prices are lower than in restaurants, and freshness is guaranteed. Bargaining is welcome. The market is located near Jungceylon shopping center.
