Roumjai Market Khaolak
Roumjai Market is a community-style evening market situated along Phet Kasem Road in the Khuekkhak area of Khao Lak, offering visitors a relaxed and authentic local shopping and dining experience away from the busier tourist strips. The market draws a mix of residents and travellers looking to browse stalls, pick up affordable goods, and sample Thai street food in an informal, open-air setting that reflects everyday life in this part of Phang-nga province. Visitors can expect a lively but unhurried atmosphere typical of Thai neighbourhood markets, with vendors selling a range of products that may include fresh produce, snacks, cooked food, clothing, and everyday household items. The market has a genuinely local character, making it a good option for those wanting to experience Khao Lak beyond its beaches and resorts. Good to know: Roumjai Market operates every day of the week, opening at 14:00 and closing at 20:00, so it is best visited in the late afternoon or early evening when stall activity is at its peak. Arriving around 15:00 to 17:00 gives visitors time to explore at a comfortable pace before the evening crowd builds. Casual, comfortable clothing and a small amount of Thai baht in cash are recommended, as many vendors at local markets of this type do not accept card payments.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
