Ao Nang Landmark Night Market

4.4(7,239 reviews)

Open every night of the week from 5 PM to 11 PM, this large and well-established night market has become one of Ao Nang's most consistent evening destinations. The atmosphere leans distinctly tourist-oriented, though reviewers note that prices remain fair for both food and shopping — a combination that keeps visitors returning across multiple trips to the area. The scale is considerable, with the market drawing comparisons to Bangkok's Chinatown for its variety and energy. Food is the main draw, with stalls covering an impressive range: grilled seafood, satay, pad thai, mango sticky rice, fresh smoothies, and more adventurous options such as crocodile meat. Beyond eating, the market features live music, fire shows, and vendors selling clothing, handicrafts, and souvenirs typical of Krabi. The evening entertainment gives it a festival-like quality that sets it apart from quieter local markets. A few practical notes for visitors: prices here are higher than at local markets catering to residents, so budget-conscious travellers should come prepared. One reviewer advises sticking to cooked-to-order food — skewers, noodles, and grilled dishes — rather than items left sitting out. Arriving earlier in the evening tends to mean more vendor options and a livelier crowd. Cash is advisable, as smaller stalls may not accept cards. The market's location in central Ao Nang makes it easy to reach on foot from most nearby accommodation.

Visitor Reviews

Ao Nang Landmark Night Market is one of the most lively and complete night markets in the area, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. The atmosphere is vibrant, with live music, fire shows, and street performances happening throughout the evening, which makes it much more than just a place to eat or shop. There’s a huge variety of food options, from classic Thai street food and fresh seafood to international dishes and desserts. Prices are generally reasonable, and it’s a great place to try many different things in one visit. On top of the food, there are plenty of shopping stalls selling clothes, souvenirs, handmade items, and beachwear, making it a good spot to browse or pick up small gifts. Seating areas are well organized, and the whole place feels spacious and well laid out compared to other night markets. Overall, it’s a must-visit if you’re staying in Ao Nang. A great mix of food, entertainment, and shopping, perfect for spending a relaxed and fun evening.

Ao Nang Landmark Night Market is a must visit place if you come to Krabi and stop at Ao Nang. This place is good for street food options. Very similar to Bangkok's Chinatown. It's a big place. There are souvenir's shop, gift shop, local craft shop, tatto shops but all try to cut your throat by demanding excess money. Though they tell they are giving discounts — but It's not true. They just sell it in higher price during the peak seasons. And they just hardly negotiate. But but, this place has a variety of food options which I highly recommend. From Indian to Turkish, Thai local food, veg and vegan food all are present here. You can have chicken, beef, halal foods, pork, sea food, corns, fruits, crocodile and different types of insects as well..Foods are super cheap if ypu want to try local foods with lots of variety do pay a visit. Bring cash with you cause not all shop accepts cards.

We've been back to this market several times across different visits to Ao Nang, and it's become a reliable go-to. Yes, it's tourist-oriented—but refreshingly, the prices stay fair for both food and souvenirs. The food selection is excellent with plenty of variety to work through over multiple evenings. There's a good amount of seating and local artists provide entertainment that adds to the atmosphere without being overwhelming. One heads up for high season visitors: the food section gets properly hot and very crowded. Worth timing your visit or just accepting you'll be navigating through crowds with your plate. Still, it's an enjoyable evening stroll—grab some food, browse the stalls, soak up the buzz. Does exactly what a good night market should.

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.
