The 7 Best Markets in Khao Lak, Ranked

This is a fairly even split between proper markets and everyday supermarkets, with a few small shopping centers padding out the lower half. Bang Niang Market takes the top spot by a mile on review volume alone, and its fresh-market sibling covers the morning shift just up the road. Ranked on Google rating with review count breaking the ties, so the quieter evening markets sit lower than their scores suggest.

How this list is ranked

Ordered by Google rating, weighted by how many people have reviewed each place, then checked by hand for closures and misfiled listings.
Where we override that order on our own judgment, the intro says so.
Ratings and review counts re-sync from Google monthly.
Paid placements are never ranked; a sponsor sits above the list and is labeled.
