  • - Yay!

  • So what do you do after a long day of work?

  • - In Phuket, you go to a night market.

  • - Welcome, to the Phuket Indy Market!

  • (upbeat music)

  • The Indy Market is located

  • in Dibuk Road, Phuket town.

  • It's an independent night market,

  • with delicious food and quirky shops.

  • What's special about this market,

  • is that many start up folks and teenagers

  • set up stalls to learn how to run a business.

  • The parents and the local community encourage them.

  • It's full of cool young people

  • shopping and eating and chilling.

  • You will not find a lot of tourists here,

  • and the vibe, it's very local.

  • The best part about this market is that the people

  • support the youngsters to take part in business,

  • plan their own shops, and interact with new people.

  • This is the reason why we wanted to show you this market.

  • Let's go.

  • Dumplings, in coconut milk.

  • Let's eat.

  • (singing in background)

  • Mm, it's so nice.

  • I expected these to be very sweet

  • but they're kind of salty,

  • and with the sweetness of the coconut milk,

  • they go really well.

  • It's like a very nice explosion of sweet and savory.

  • Delicious.

  • Mm, coconut!

  • (upbeat music)

  • - I found veggie spring rolls!

  • Oh my god, they're a rarity.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - We see these a lot in Thailand.

  • We don't know what these are called,

  • but these are basically mini crepes,

  • and they are really thin with fillings inside so.

  • Very fun.

  • This one is some type of custard.

  • - [Avi] Hey, leave some for me.

  • - Oh yeah, I like the custard the best.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - They love their instant noodles here.

  • This is instant soba.

  • It's so simple, it's, it's soba, veggies and some sauce.

  • And lucky for me, it's vegetarian!

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Another instant noodles concoction.

  • Oh my god.

  • This is one of the best ways to eat noodles,

  • like, in the world.

  • And lots of chili.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Guys look what I've found.

  • These are colored balls.

  • But, we thought it was potato,

  • but it is sweet potatoes.

  • Fried, of course fried it's nice,

  • but there is something sticky inside.

  • And it's sugary so, it's fantastic.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - We like Phuket.

  • - Ahhh that's why, okay.

  • - So these are Thai coconut pancakes.

  • They're made with grated coconut, sugar, condensed milk.

  • They have different fillings, like the sweet potato,

  • this is sesame, and there's corn, but I hate corn.

  • Mm that is just like coconut burfi.

  • So delicious!

  • (sizzling)

  • - A roasted sweet potato, we just had fried sweet potato so.

  • It's amazing how they use sweet potato.

  • I'm going to, I think,

  • I just think you can just bite it, no?

  • (crunching)

  • (Avi laughs)

  • - It's purple,

  • and I don't think you're supposed to eat the peel.

  • (chuckles)

  • (upbeat music)

  • I'm eating something purple.

  • (foreign language)

  • - This is omurice

  • it's omelet and sticky rice.

  • This is my staple because

  • you can basically choose the toppings

  • which they put in the omelet, so I can say no meat.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Coconut, peanut.

  • - And this one?

  • - Coconut.
