If you’re wandering Banyan Market on Koh Samui looking for a fresh, unique bite, the new watermelon burger might catch your eye. This creative dish uses a juicy, sweet watermelon slice as the bun, filled with a delightful Italian-inspired mix of balsamic vinegar, red onion, cheese, and fresh basil. The blend offers a refreshing twist, perfect for a light lunch or a vegan date spot.
The vendor suggests adding more basil sauce inside to balance the sharpness of the red onions, which some found a bit overpowering. For 150 baht, you get this colorful burger, and for an extra 50 baht, you can enjoy a watermelon juice with various mix-ins like mojito flavor, making the meal both tasty and hydrating under the tropical sun.
While Banyan Market offers this vegan-friendly option, it’s surrounded by other stalls serving hearty eats like chebureki, dumplings, and green borscht, so the atmosphere is lively and diverse. This mix of flavors and cultures makes the market a fun spot for both locals and visitors to explore new tastes and mingle.

OG Lab notes that the combination of sweet fruit with savory Italian ingredients fits right into Samui’s fusion food scene, making it a cool choice for a casual, colorful meal.
