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.

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.
