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
Running every Friday evening in the Choeng Thale area of Thalang District, this weekly night market draws locals and tourists alike with a broad mix of street food, clothing, souvenirs, arts, and crafts. The atmosphere is lively, with music adding to the buzz of vendors and browsing crowds, making it a sociable way to spend a Friday night in northern Phuket.
Food is a clear highlight, with grilled meats, Isaan sausages, sticky rice, fresh fruit, and sweet snacks like Nutella strawberry pancakes all available at wallet-friendly prices — visitors report filling meals for well under 200 THB. The market also caters well to those seeking Halal options, with multiple dedicated stands among the stalls. Beyond food, shoppers can pick through local handicrafts, clothing, and gifts.
It is worth noting that experiences can vary — some visitors find the market compact and a little chaotic compared to larger night markets in Thailand, so those expecting a sprawling, highly curated event may want to adjust expectations accordingly. The market opens at 16:00 and runs until 22:30, so arriving in the early evening allows time to browse before the crowds peak. As the venue is outdoors, lightweight, comfortable clothing is recommended, and bringing small change makes navigating food and craft stalls easier.

Reviews from Google
This night market was recommended by the hotel we stayed. They sell so many different types of food and local products here. All food here are cheap and good. Grill meat and sausages cost between 20 - 100 THB while seafood range from 100 - 1000 THB. The meat we bought was really good. If you plan to try seafood, the large prawns and scallop was really worth it. Definitely worth a visit if you're staying nearby.
One of the best night markets I have seen so far. Good mix of food, clothes, souvenirs and other stuff. And with music.
If you have been to a few street markets in thailand you are know that this falls below par. It's a very chaotic area. There is not much choice in the food offerings and it does not seem to be a market primarily frequented by locals which makes it lack authenticity. The best thing about experiencing this market was the musical talent on offer by the Thai youth- loved Jojo Saxophone- Very talented kid.
