When thepprasit market officially shuts down around 11pm, look for the family stalls that stay open way later on the market's edges. Some cook fresh tom yum goong until 3am which is honestly a lifesaver after jomtien's bar crawls.

The tom yum costs 80-90 thb and actually burns your mouth not the sweet tourist version from walking street. Their late night khao pad gai is perfect drunk food and the plastic stools on concrete are exactly what you want when stumbling back from soi 6. Cash only obviously.
