Talad Kaset Night Market
Talad Kaset Night Market brings central Phuket to life each evening along Thavornwogwong Road, drawing a genuine mix of local families and visitors in search of affordable food and everyday goods. The market runs seven nights a week from 5:00 PM until midnight, making it one of the more accessible and consistent night markets in the area. Its reputation rests largely on the food, with reviewers consistently praising the flavour, portion sizes, and value — with some noting that a full dinner here costs less than one or two dishes at a tourist-facing restaurant.
Food stalls are the main draw, covering a wide range of Thai street food including grilled meats, noodle dishes, seafood, tropical fruits, and desserts. Halal options are available and well-regarded by visitors. Beyond food, stalls sell clothing, household goods, and affordable souvenirs that reflect everyday local shopping rather than tourist-market pricing. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, with the kind of nostalgic street-food energy that reviewers describe as distinctly local.

Reviews from Google
Great food, one of the best patties and the Service they even give you a bucket and a washcloth to wash your hands.
Great service and food in a very casual little market!
Not many stalls open, but had a fantastic dinner there for the price of 1 or 2 dishes in a tourist restaurant, and they let you buy beers from 7/11 and even give you glasses with ice to drink it from. The pad thai I had there is the best I have eaten in Thailand

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.
