Although many tourists love wandering off and exploring the local markets of a faraway land, in some cases those markets are viewed by foreigners as unsafe, from both a health and physical safety standpoint. Guests of Anantara Si Kao Resort & Spa have expressed a desire to try out real Thai food in the market but worry about getting sick on holiday, so the resort has begun recreating a night market on property. Every Saturday night, the 138-key beach resort, located in a secluded area south of Krabi, Thailand, invites food vendors from public markets to prepare street food in the resort's own kitchens and set up market stalls in the garden. For 1,200 baht (US$34), guests can walk the market and sample seven local delicacies and meet local craftspeople, like silk-weaving ladies, painters and wood carvers.
