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.

Why go, and how to do it well

Located along Thanon Utarakit in the Pak Nam district of Krabi town, this street food night market draws a sociable mix of locals and travelers every evening of the week. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with vendors setting up stalls in a lively open-air setting that comes alive from mid-afternoon onward.

The food selection covers considerable ground, from classic Thai dishes like pad Thai to meat skewers, Vietnamese spring rolls, coconut milk fried rice noodles, and a range of desserts and drinks. For the more adventurous, at least one stall serves fried insects including mealworms and crickets. Vegetarian visitors are also catered for, with dedicated stall options available. Prices are notably low, with some items starting as cheap as 10 baht, making it an easy option for budget-conscious travelers looking to eat well without spending much.

The market operates daily from 15:00 to 22:00, so arriving earlier in the evening typically means shorter lines and stalls fully stocked. As with any busy street market, it is worth browsing all the options before committing to a stall, since vendor experiences can vary. Comfortable walking shoes and lightweight clothing are practical choices given the open-air setting and Thailand's humidity. There is no website, so no advance planning is needed — simply turn up and explore.

Reviews from Google

Amazing market with lots of different varieties of meat dishes, desserts and drinks. They ever had a stand serving fried insects suck as meal worms, crickets, and other bugs I don't know name of The owner wouldn't allow us to take pictures of the cooked bugs. Food was delicious and very cheap! Krabi has 2 night markets. The one we went to was only about 8 minute walk from our hotel. We'll try outother one in next couple of days.

There is a vegetarian stall! Had tried coconut milk fried rice noodles, it tastes interesting. And also leek pao, with sweet sauce, not bad. 🎬2025.6.16

Never buying from the pancake stalk ever again, would recommend others to do so, very rude owner that scolded us for going off to buy in other stalls while he was making the pancake. He even scolded when I didn’t hand him cash and wanted to try the QR, remarking “I have many orders very busy”
