Directions

Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked along a rural highway in the Koh Chang district of Trat province, this night market provides visitors with a glimpse into the island's local commercial life away from the more tourist-heavy beach strips. As a neighborhood-style market, it draws a mix of residents and travelers looking for an unpretentious evening out, with stalls typically offering a range of goods spanning street food, clothing, and everyday items common to Thai night markets of this scale.

The atmosphere here leans casual and community-oriented rather than polished or tourist-facing, making it a reasonable stop for those who want to experience a more grounded side of Koh Chang. Visitors can expect a relaxed browse through vendor stalls, with the surrounding island setting adding a distinct tropical character to the evening.

As a practical note, opening hours are not confirmed publicly, so visitors are advised to aim for arrival in the early to mid evening, typically when Thai night markets are most active, usually from around 5:00 PM onward. Given the outdoor setting, lightweight and breathable clothing is recommended, along with insect repellent, which is standard advice for any evening activity on Koh Chang. Cash in Thai baht is advisable as card facilities are unlikely to be available at individual stalls.
