Krabi Town Night Market

4.3(9,305 reviews)

Running every Friday through Sunday evening from 5pm to 10pm, this weekend night market in the Pak Nam area of Krabi Town draws a healthy mix of locals and visitors, giving it an authenticity that sets it apart from more tourist-heavy markets elsewhere in Thailand. Stalls line the walkways with affordable street food, clothing, and souvenirs, while live music and a relaxed open-air setting make it as much a social occasion as a shopping trip. Food is a clear highlight here. Visitors consistently note the generous portions, low prices, and variety of local dishes and snacks on offer. Drinks, including beer, are noticeably cheaper than at nearby restaurants, making it a practical choice for an affordable evening out. The friendly vendors and lively atmosphere contribute to a setting that feels genuinely lived-in rather than staged for tourists. Because the market only operates on weekends, it is worth planning around if visiting Krabi Town mid-week. Arriving closer to opening at 5pm offers a cooler, less crowded experience before the evening gets busier. Comfortable footwear is recommended for walking the stalls, and bringing cash is advisable as many vendors are unlikely to accept card payments.

Visitor Reviews

Krabi Night Market is one of those places in Krabi that is absolutely worth visiting at least once. It is open only from Friday to Sunday. There, you can stroll around, buy souvenirs, enjoy live music, and taste an incredible variety of delicious food. The Krabi Night Market has a fantastic food zone, where numerous stalls are lined up side by side, offering a wide selection of Thai cuisine. You can try many different dishes in small portions, making it easy to sample a lot of flavors. While listening to music, you can walk along the food stalls, enjoy beer, juices, and cocktails, and also taste a wide range of very delicious desserts. In short, this is one of the must-visit places for every tourist visiting Krabi.

I really enjoyed visiting Aonang Night Market! There were lots of food stalls with delicious local dishes and snacks. The atmosphere was lively with music and friendly vendors. Great place to experience local culture and try Thai street food. Highly recommended for an evening walk!

The best market we visited while in Thailand. Not as touristy as other cities, you actually see locals eat everywhere and the prices are cheaper too. Had some good food with nice portions :)

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.
