Lamai Fresh Food Market is a bustling local market on Koh Samui, offering a vibrant array of fresh produce, meats, and delicious street food. It's a must-visit for travelers seeking authentic local flavors and a glimpse into daily island life, especially for its renowned marinated chicken.

Head to the food stalls and try the marinated chicken, described as the "best chicken in town" for its juicy, flavorful taste.
In their own words: “We are at Lamai Fresh Market and there's a lot of good food over here. We also took you here because they have the best chicken. The chicken we bought at Lamai Fresh Market is like the best chicken in the world. It is marinated very simply with fish sauce. They use some flour as well to give that extra crispiness, and I'm pretty sure they left the chicken marinated overnight because the flavors are fully inside, in the deepest parts of the chicken. It is delicious. Look how juicy it is. It is falling apart. Fatty, tasty, salty, best chicken in town. No KFC, no McDonald's. This is proper Koh Samui chicken.”
