Ao Nang Landmark Night Market
Big, loud and unapologetically touristy, but the grilled seafood and fire shows earn their keep.

Go for the food and the noise, not for bargains. This is a large open-air night market that runs from 5pm to 11pm every day of the week, walkable from most of the Ao Nang hotels, and busy enough that regulars compare it to Bangkok's Chinatown. Grilled seafood, satay, pad thai, mango sticky rice, fresh smoothies, even crocodile meat if you're curious. There's a big communal seating area, so a group can split up, buy from different stalls and eat together.
Live music, Thai dancing, Muay Thai and fire shows run through the evening, which is what lifts it above a row of stalls. The souvenir, clothing and handicraft side is where I'd be more careful. Several people report inflated peak-season prices and vendors who barely budge on haggling. Food prices are fair for what you get, but nobody would call them cheap.
One honest warning from the reviews: hygiene varies stall to stall. Stick to things cooked to order in front of you, skewers, stir-fried noodles, grilled fish, and skip anything sitting out uncooked.

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.
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.
Tourist hot spot. The food was good (however not cheap!). I stayed away from food that doesn’t require cooking (ie sushi) - and only ate food which was cooked eg skewers, stir fried noodles. I didn’t get food poisoning. I saw some stalls with noodles that had bugs crawling on it. I would absolutely look at the hygiene of the stall as well as what they are selling before you buy it. There was entertainment on site Muay Thai and Thai dancing. Lots of stalls selling souvenirs. There is also play area for kids to ride cars, trampoline, jumping castle. Beer towers for those that love to drink beer. There is a massage place too on the side. Overall, I did enjoy it, just make sure you are careful of food you buy

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
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.
Claim Your VAT Refund
Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
