Kamala Market

Situated a short walk from Kamala Beach, this open-air evening market draws both locals and visitors with a well-rounded mix of street food stalls, clothing vendors, souvenir sellers, and fresh produce. It reflects the quieter, more laid-back character of the Kamala area compared to Phuket's busier tourist hubs, making it a pleasant alternative for those looking to browse without the crowds. Food is a clear highlight, with vendors serving sushi, meat skewers, fresh fish, coconut ice cream, juices, and regional Thai specialties — many at remarkably low prices. Beyond eating, shoppers can pick through stalls selling clothes, shoes, bags, sunglasses, watches, and trinkets. Bargaining is part of the experience, and cash in Thai baht is the preferred payment method. Worth noting: the market operates Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 14:00 to 21:00 — it is closed on weekends, which catches some visitors off guard. It is not the largest market in Phuket, and those staying outside the area may not find it worth a dedicated trip. For guests already based in Kamala, however, it makes an easy and enjoyable afternoon detour, particularly earlier in the session before the stalls get busiest toward the evening.
