Hello everyone

On the final day of my sister and her kids' visit to Phuket, we decided to spend the morning at the Rawai Seafood Market. This market is one of Phuket’s largest and most popular spots for fresh seafood. 🐟🦐

Here, you’ll find an incredible variety of seafood, freshly caught by local fishermen and sold right at the market. The unique charm of Rawai Market is that you can buy seafood directly from the vendors and take it to nearby restaurants to have it cooked into your favorite dishes. These restaurants charge a cooking fee of just 100 THB per dish. 🍤🍴

Around 11 AM, before heading to Rawai Market to shop for fresh seafood, we made a quick stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery at Rawai Beach. It was a perfect morning with clear skies and stunning turquoise water. 🌊☀️

The calm sea breeze and the relaxing sound of the waves made this moment even more special. It was the perfect start to a memorable day. 💙✨

Rawai Beach is also home to a long pier that stretches out into the sea. The view from the pier is simply breathtaking. 🌊✨

Standing there, you can see the endless blue water merging with the horizon, creating a sense of calm and serenity. It’s a spot that’s perfect for taking photos or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. 💙📸

Rawai Beach is lined with numerous local fishing boats, anchored peacefully along the shore. These boats, with their vibrant colors and traditional designs, add a unique charm to the beach. 🚤🎨

Although it’s a beach, you won’t find tourists swimming here due to the rocky seabed, which makes it unsuitable for swimming. However, this setting perfectly complements the quiet, authentic atmosphere of the area. 🌊✨

After soaking in the stunning views and capturing the serene atmosphere of Rawai Beach, we headed straight to the nearby fresh seafood market. This market is a vibrant hub, filled with stalls selling an incredible variety of seafood and restaurants ready to cook your selections. 🐟🦐

The energy of the market, combined with the aroma of fresh seafood, made it an exciting experience for everyone. It was time to pick some fresh ingredients for our meal! 🍤🍴

At the entrance to the market, most of the stalls featured souvenirs crafted from materials found in the sea. From an array of colorful seashells to beautiful handmade jewelry and home decorations, each item was unique and captivating. 🐚✨

It was delightful to browse through these stalls, as the intricate designs showcased the creativity and craftsmanship of the local community. 🌊💙

Moving further into the market, we were greeted by stalls overflowing with fresh seafood of every kind. From shrimp and clams to crabs and fish, everything was freshly caught by local fishermen and brought straight to the market. 🦀🐟

The seafood here is as fresh as it gets! We spent time comparing prices across the market to ensure we got the best deals. Finally, we bought several kilograms of mud crabs and blood cockles to take home and cook ourselves. 🍤🍴

The freshly caught mud crabs we bought were large and meaty. We steamed them to perfection and paired them with a homemade spicy seafood dipping sauce. 🦀🌶️

The combination was absolutely delicious! There’s truly nothing better than enjoying fresh seafood cooked simply, especially when shared with family. 💖🍴

The blood cockles were lightly boiled to retain their natural sweetness, making them a perfect addition to our seafood feast. Every bite was a delightful reminder of how fresh and flavorful the seafood was. 🦪✨

Sharing this meal together was more than just eating delicious food; it was about enjoying each other’s company, laughing, and creating memories. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate the simple joys of life — fresh food, family, and meaningful conversations. 💖🍴

If you ever visit Phuket, don’t miss the chance to explore Rawai Seafood Market. It’s an experience that not only satisfies your taste buds but also brings people closer together. 🌊🐟
