Southern Thai Curry Rice at Khao Lak Bang Niang, a delicious taste you must try

When talking about Khao Lak in Phang Nga province, many may think of beautiful seas, clear waters, and luxury resorts. But for mr.hotsia, another charm not to be overlooked is the “Southern Thai Curry Rice” at Bang Niang Market, a small coastal community full of traditional lifestyles and the authentic southern flavors that are hard to find in big cities.

I remember the first time mr.hotsia traveled here was one morning at Bang Niang morning market, a place filled with calls from vendors and the fragrant aroma of freshly made southern curry pastes every day. Several small curry rice shops line the roadside, with hot pots of curry including spicy curry paste, coconut milk curry, sour curry, and fish kidney curry, served with hot steamed rice and a variety of fresh vegetables.

For mr.hotsia, eating southern curry rice at Khao Lak Bang Niang is not just about the taste but truly experiencing the lifestyle of the local community here. Most shop owners are locals who use fresh ingredients from the area, including fresh sea fish fromKhao Lak Fresh Seafood Marketand homegrown local vegetables from their backyard gardens.

Distinctive Flavors and Friendly Travel

The special feature of the curry rice here is the perfect blend of the southern curry's spiciness with the sweetness and richness of coconut milk. The coconut milk curry that mr.hotsia recommends is “Fish Kidney Curry,” which is rich and flavorful with a slight sourness from tamarind and the fragrant aroma of fermented fish. The spicy sea bass sour curry served with fresh crunchy vegetables is another dish that mr.hotsia loves.

Besides the outstanding flavors, traveling to Bang Niang Market is very convenient. Mr.hotsia traveled from Phang Nga town, taking about 1 hour by car along a coastal route with beautiful sea and mountain views along the way.
