Four hours a week is all you get here, so it either fits your trip or it doesn't. The market sets up near the mosque in the Klong Haeng area of Ao Nang, runs from 3pm to 7pm on Saturdays, and pulls in a mostly local crowd doing their actual shopping. That's the appeal. Prices are local prices, not Ao Nang beachfront prices.
Food is the reason to come. Crispy fried chicken, Thai snacks, drinks, and a whole run of sweets that you won't be able to identify. My advice is to buy one of each and work it out later. Beyond the food there's clothing, fresh produce and handicrafts, and enough room between the stalls that you're not shuffling along in a queue, which isn't true of every night market in Krabi. Vendors handle English well enough that ordering isn't a struggle.

Reviews from Google
For very good price, best local food and drinks.
There are a few local markets in Klong Haeng during the week, but this Saturday market near the mosque is my favorite one. There are a lot of stalls and there is a lot of space to walk too. Unfortunately the traffic is very poorly arranged during the market hours.
It’s a local market, local prices, good variety, not huge and easy to get around, the stall owners understand English well. Enjoyed the crispy fried chicken pieces and local sweet treats. Just buy anything that is a sweet treat and give it a go, you’ll never know unless you try!!!! ( like me)

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.
