Best Thai Street Food

Tucked away in the Ao Nang area of Krabi, this evening street food market draws locals and travellers alike with its combination of food stalls and casual night market shopping. It operates as a small open-air venue split between vendors selling ready-to-eat dishes and others offering market goods, creating a relaxed, neighbourhood atmosphere that feels a step removed from the polished restaurants along the main beach strip. The food offering leans heavily into Thai classics and fresh seafood, with visitors regularly picking up pad thai, grilled fish, BBQ prawns, clams, and tom yum soup, along with crowd-pleasers like mango sticky rice. Prices are notably lower than comparable options closer to the beachfront, with some dishes available for as little as 80 Baht. Portion sizes have been described as on the smaller side by some visitors, so arriving with an appetite and planning to sample from multiple stalls tends to work well. Western options are also available for those travelling with less adventurous eaters. Good to know: the market opens daily from 4pm and runs until 10pm, making it well-suited for an early evening meal. As with any street food setting, freshness and food hygiene can vary between individual stalls, so it is worth being observant about preparation practices and choosing stalls with visible turnover of food. Arriving earlier in the evening generally means fresher stock and shorter waits.
