Description

Thai basil, bird’s-eye chillies, green mangoes and tropical fruit stack up in every available corner at Mai Yod Market. Produce needing cold storage sits on ice, while herbs and vegetables arrive with the sort of freshness that makes supermarket coriander seem vaguely historical.

The shelves run deep with ingredients for a proper Thai kitchen: local spices, vegetables, fruit, frozen food and everyday groceries. Cooks based around Klong Dao will find more useful raw material here than in the chain shops, especially for curries, stir-fries and fruit-heavy breakfasts.

It is an old-school shop, dense enough to turn a short fruit run into an expedition. Cold beer is stocked alongside the food, and the packed layout rewards a slow browse through products that do not appear on polished minimart shelves.

Phone in a shopping list and collect it packed, which is useful for a villa fridge refill or a few days of self-catering. Buy fruit, herbs and cooking supplies here; leave the cashew nuts on the shelf, where they have developed ambitious financial expectations.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Use the phone-order option for a larger villa shop, then save the in-store browse for herbs, fruit and odd Thai pantry finds.
