    Lots of fake luxury goods on sale, plentiful shops selling clothes and scarves too. Food stalls are clustered at the entrance of the market, and mostly finger food which might not be good for a full dinner. But it's not so crowded and storeowners are friendly.

    Best place for a snack! Their street food is legend. All the food I ate was clean. I generally look around and wait until a local orders in the local language then I copy the order. This is my general rule of thumb when choosing street food. Didn't get sick, people were so kind, and the food was delicious! Please come here!!!!

    This market is set up two days of the week, on Tuesday and Friday. Set in the parking lot of the Temple it has the usual mix of clothes, cheap trinkets and food & drink stalls. The smell from the food stalls is all permeating and will tempt anyone eating into trying the wares on offer. It is best to park at a slight distance or in the pay&park school ground next to the temple. The market has been a bit subdued for now, but looks like it will get it's lustre back along with the rest of Karon

    Small and nice market for an evening walk in Phuket. It is open every Tuesday & Friday. Unfortunately we arrived late around 9PM which is when the little booths usually close. We were lucky to still do some shopping (a hat, little souveniers, sunglasses) and get great deals with a little bit of bargaining :)

    Great Market highly recommended. It was quite then my family and I went but it is getting busier. Lots of clothing jewelry, hats and other goods but not alot of food options. But you should go. Again highly recommended.

    Only on Tue and Fridays from 4 pm till late. It's really a vast difference from precovid days when it was crowded. Now there appears to be more sellers than buyers, sadly. There's still a wide range of casual clothing, beachware, souvenirs and street food

    Not many options for solid meals. Lots of options for snakcs and finger food. Can buy clothes or other tidbits. Seemed overpriced.

    Small market with a laid back atmosphere and cheap souvenirs for sale. The temple the market is held on is also nice. Worth a visit if you happen to be nearby.

  • 5/5 Hebron E. 7 months ago on Google
    We were there early even before the tents were put up, plenty of options at a great price. A def must visit for shopping. Just a 20 mins ride from Patong plus youโ€™d get to visit the beautiful Karon beach as well :) get there by 2/3pm to avoid the crowds and youโ€™d have plenty of freedom to haggle prices.

    Don't know who had the glorious idea of putting the only night market on Karon Beach in a Temple. I went there on 3 different days and it was always closed because of Buddhist ceremonies or a funeral that day.

  • 5/5 David Vande V. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place to find some chow as well as lots of different items both hand-made as well as some mass produced stuff, definitely worth a stop providing there open as there only open a day or 2 per week

  • 5/5 MrSunshine940 4 months ago on Google
    Great place to shop and buy local products and souvenirs! The atmosphere is buzzing. Only open on certain days Tuesday and Fridays I believe but check Google before you decide to go! Fresh food, fruits, bags, clothes and the smoothies are to die for! Top tip - go to multiple stalls and check prices for the product you want to buy. Found many others which were selling same product for much cheaper.

    Fantastic food! Very polite and courteous staff. Try the Basil Chili Spaghetti.

    Nice market but all the market is the same , I have been here many time also in another market and everything the same but the atmosphere is nice

    A lot of nice food โ€œto goโ€. Otherwise mostly the same items that you see on other places but maybe better selection and everything at the same place.

  • 2/5 JimmyD 1 year ago on Google
    Covid has knocked this place. Walk the whole thing in 2mins. Saying that... The Shrimp Pad Thai is amazing. You can get it at the only vendor serving Pad Thai. There are also a few other food stalls and tourist shops, only worth a visit if you are looking for something to do in the local area that takes 5mins.

    Every Thursday and Friday evening market from 16 till 22 hours. Foods, clothes, beauty and electronic products. So like a usual market. Familiar size, good atmosphere.

    I visited this market after my shopping at Patong and Phuket with zero expectation. To my surprise this place had few unique things on a reasonable price.

  • 5/5 J J. 5 years ago on Google
    Great market. Not open every night. We went on a Friday night. Good variety of food stalls and lots of vendors selling clothes, bags, soaps, watches, leather goods etc. A good way to spend a couple hours. Definitely reccomend.

    Lovely night market and the best we found in this area :). Great stuff to buy and atmosphere and a few food stands inside and outside. During COVID they also checked temperature and masks at all entries! We went there on Tuesday and Friday :)
