Night market Rassada

Night markets in Thailand are not just places for shopping but a real cultural phenomenon.

One such market is the Chillva Market. This market operates in the evenings from 5 to 11 PM every day except Monday.

The market is different from the rest with its creative use of shipping containers as stores.

Chillva Market offers everything from clothing and accessories to souvenirs and art pieces.

However, the main reason to visit Chillva Market is the food.

The market abounds with various culinary masterpieces: from meat and seafood delicacies to fried insects and exotic sweets.

Just 100 meters from the main market is Chillva Market 2 – a seafood market where you can find not only fresh shrimp and squid but also giant lobsters, oysters, crabs, and various mollusks and crustaceans.

For those who like to try new things, a visit to Chillva Market is a must.

This place can be called a creative space, where in addition to food, clothes and various things there are two stages for street performers. People come here not only to shop and try something new, but also to enjoy the creative atmosphere of Phuket nightlife. Many consider this market to be the best on the island, and it’s also open every day. There is a convenient parking lot located nearby.

It’s recommended to stroll through this colorful market, listen to live music, and observe the life of the local people.
