Shopping

The Jomtien Night Market has a huge selection of seafood dishes — everything is very fresh and inexpensive. It’s also home to the famous stall of Mr Boom, where he cooks pad thai; there’s a queue any day of the week and portions start from 60 baht. Next to the noodle stall a huge tom yum is served for just 90 baht — one portion is enough for two. Locals have also adapted to Russian tourists’ tastes: the market sells mashed potatoes for 20–30 baht, meatballs for 20 baht and familiar Russian meat pancakes (not roti).
