Night Market Karon isn’t just a night market. It’s a place where you can have a true culinary and cultural experience. Here, you can taste authentic Thai cuisine and immerse yourself in the incredible atmosphere – the market is located right on the grounds of a Buddhist temple!
The Karon market attracts tourists not only with its authenticity but also with its variety of goods. Be sure to try the fried seafood, Pad Thai, roti, and other traditional dishes.
In addition to Thai delicacies and fresh exotic fruits, at the Karon Night Market you can buy handmade souvenirs such as wooden tableware, jewelry, scarves, cosmetics, and spices, as well as a wide range of beachwear. And yes – don’t hesitate to bargain!
The market operates on Tuesdays and Fridays. Trading starts around 4-5 PM and goes on briskly until 11 PM, and sometimes even later. Depending on the season, the market’s opening hours do not change, and rain is not an obstacle.
You can pay at the market in cash (Thai baht). If you run out of cash, you can withdraw money from an ATM near the temple grounds. Keep in mind that the withdrawal fee in Thailand is about 220–250 baht per transaction, regardless of the amount.
