Famous handicrafts of Chon Buri include Ang Sila’s granite mortars and Phanat Nikhom’s basketry.

Chon Buri is also abundant in fresh and dried seafood. A vast variety of seafood products are normally available anywhere especially at Nong Mon market.

Some recommended specialties at Nong Mon market include

Chaeng Lon (แจงลอน) This is Chon Buri’s special delicacy which uses the same ingredients as Ho Mok (ห่อหมก) with coconut shreds to replace coconut milk. The mixture is hand-molded into small buns on a stick, and charcoal-grilled until cooked.

Hoi Cho (หอยจ้อ) This Chinese delicacy is Chon Buri’s famous dish because a special kind of sea crabs is used as the main ingredient.

Khao Lam (ข้าวหลาม) This specialty is made with sticky rice, sugar and coconut cream cooked in specially-prepared bamboo rods.

Basketry Market (ตลาดจักสาน) Long known for its fine basketry products, Amphoe Phanat Nikhom originally made them for daily use.

To view the production process and higher quality items, pay a visit to the Promotion Center for

Bamboo Basketry Skills (ศูนย์ส่งเสริมฝีมือการจักสานด้วยไม้ไผ่) on Intha-asa Road, near the district office, which is a royally-initiated project of Her Majesty the Queen.
