Food courts that I can think of include:
- Market Village (just food)
- Bluport (just food)
- Baan Khun Por - I consider the pathfinder that others have followed
- Pae Mai Food Garden (my daughter-in-law has a food outlet here, so I will declare an interest. I will endeavor not to publicise it) - Definitely a clone of Baan Khun Por, but with lessons learnt in my opinion.
- Tamarind Market, which I consider to fall into this category.
- Racing Market - was dying the last time I looked, No idea if it's recovered and still going.
- Big C - I believe (don't know) knocked down, and risen from the ashes.
My favourite is Pae Mai - firstly and most importantly to visit my daughter-in-law, but just as important is car parking. As far as I know, it is the only evening food court with sensible car parking, apart from a Tuesday, when there is arguably the best market in town occupying the car park. Of course, Market Village and Bluport have adequate car parking.
Obviously cheap beer is the BIG attraction. I think at Pae Mae 3 large beers cost 170฿, and if you buy 6 you get a 7th free (I don't drink often, so can't confirm this. I believe Baan Khun Por and Big C are similar.
Free live music is a plus as well, with some top Thai acts appearing from time to time. Of course, because its free, you have to go early to get a table. I've known my daughter-in-law go at 4pm just to claim a table for others. However, entertainment can be noisy. I used to use Baan Khun Por quite frequently, but was eventually driven away by the noise (yes, I'm getting old). You just can not talk. I guess if you are modern generation, talking doesn't matter because you'll be engrossed on your phone. I've been pleasantly pleased with the lower noise levels at Pae Mae.
