The most local ( non touristy ) market we have been to. Also it opens quite early it’s really buzzing at around 4:30pm
The weekend Night Market in Krabi was almost closed because most of the activities was moved along the river of Krabi. It was Loy Khratong and a lot of people and acticities. The flower decorations with candlelight was very beautiful floating down the river.
