Phuket temple night market. Night markets in Patong - delicious and cheap food

We live in Phuket Town and regularly visit the largest and cheapest night market in Phuket. On excursions, we hear how the guides recommend the Naka Market night market. They promise low prices and a large selection of everything that vacationers need - Thai food, souvenirs, clothes, Thai cosmetics and accessories.

Naka Market, Phuket Town

Naka Night Market is located on the outskirts of the town, about 1 km from the Central Festival. Here you can really buy souvenirs and clothes at normal Thai prices without beach markups. It is always crowded, stuffy and hot, but at the same time, lively and noisy. The scents overpower one another. The cycle of food, clothes, cosmetics, shoes, souvenirs, bags, underwear. Even dogs, rabbits, cats and hamsters are sold to anyone.

Go, choose, round your eyes

Where can I order a transfer from the airport?

We use the service - Kiwi Taxi
Ordered a taxi online, paid by card. We were greeted at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You have already talked about your experience in this article.

What are the prices at the Phuket night market

The prices on the night market are very favorable, they do not hit the pocket and make you buy more and more necessary and not quite necessary things. Women's shorts for 100 baht. Looking for T-shirts and warm blouses for the fall? Come, buy, all for 150! You can also buy glasses for 100 baht in Phuket.

Dedicated to all non-believers that it is inexpensive to live in Phuket

Just last weekend I bought myself two quality pencils. One for lips, one for eyebrows. All together it came out to 120 baht ($ 3.5).

Thai and Korean cosmetics

The market is so big that it will take you more than 2 hours to go around it slowly and see everything. And you can hang out here even longer, staying for dinner in one of the street cafes.

Review of prices for Thai food

We come to the night market every weekend. We buy rice, kebabs, chicken, sweets, my favorite strawberry shake and sometimes fruit.

The Thais say that if you really want to know, visit the local markets. In Thai, the market sounds “talad” and is divided into types: talad sod is a food market, talad nat is a market for all sorts of things, from food to clothing. In addition, smaller markets and fairs are scattered throughout the island of Phuket. To get to know Thailand better, visit the one closest to your hotel. For convenience, I will describe all the markets depending on the beach on which they are located.

Phuket markets on the map in Russian

These are the main markets in Phuket. Detailed . If your beach is not on the list, choose the place that is closer to your hotel. Enjoy the shopping!

The most popular and largest market in Phuket is the night market, which has over 400 clothing stalls and food stalls. The the market is open only on weekends from 16:00 to 22:00, it is also called Sunday Market and Naka Market. The market attracts many tourists who want to buy inexpensive things, try the local cuisine and plunge into the flavor of Thailand.

Market description

Initially, the night market was intended for local residents, but over time, tourists began to visit it more and more. However, despite this, the market has not lost its color and prices have not become higher.

There is a wide selection of clothing: T-shirts, slates, sundresses, tops, shirts, trousers, skirts and more. A wide range of women's, men's and children's clothing.

Also a lot of different shoes, bags, hats. A large number of tents are occupied by all kinds of accessories: watches, jewelry, sunglasses, belts.

In addition, you will find a variety of Thai souvenirs and natural cosmetics. And those who love technology will be able to buy here a mobile phone, speakers, headphones and much more.

The night market even has an animal corner where pets are sold.

For children, there are inflatable slides and carousels on the territory of the market.

Even if you do not want to buy anything, I still recommend visiting the night market, where you will get to know the culture of Thailand better. National music plays in the market, multi-colored light bulbs are lit, a lot of local and unusual food, mixed smells - all this will give you new impressions and will remain in your memory for a long time.

Prices

The cost of goods on the market is quite low, but nevertheless, no one canceled the auction. Price plates are not on all products, so the sellers themselves invite you to start bargaining with them, so you can reduce the initial cost by 30-50%.

At the night market, you can buy a T-shirt for 100 baht, slates for 50 baht, replica watches for 100 baht, a wallet for 80 baht, and more. Food here is also cheap: seafood kebab for 10 baht, fruit from 20 baht, a plate of rice with meat or shrimp for 60 baht.

How to get there?

If you get there on your own, then your guide will be the Central Festival shopping center, from it you need to go towards the Chalong ring, turn left at the first turn, then drive two hundred meters to the turn and turn right and you will see the market.

You can also get to the market by taxi or tuk-tuk.

If you want to truly understand and feel Phuket and all of Thailand in general, be sure to walk through its night markets, buy Southeast Asian delicacies there, try drinks, look at souvenirs, ask the price of other goods.

There are many night markets in Phuket, prices will definitely please you, and gifts purchased for relatives, loved ones and yourself will remain at home as a memory of a wonderful vacation.

From the goods in the markets of Phuket eyes run up. We recommend that you hold on so as not to leave all the money there at once. But visit the famous fish market by all means, first of all.

Recall that some night markets in Phuket work stationary, i.e. do not change locations, while others move from beach to beach or to another crowded place where there are more potential buyers.

The vast majority of night markets on the island open in the afternoon, and finish their work at night. That is why they are called night markets. This makes it more convenient for buyers.

Patong

Patong is one of the large tourist areas in Phuket, where there are four large night markets. Hundreds of thousands of tourists rest here every year, and most of them visit these markets.

Banzaan Market

This is the largest food market in Phuket. He works on Sai Kor Road. Bazaan Market is a large two-story building that sells not only food, but also clothes, souvenirs, etc.

On the second floor of the market there is a dining area where you can taste local food. Street vendors sit near the market, offering Southeast Asian dishes, seafood, pancakes, etc. to passers-by.

You can pick up goodies and have a snack right next to the market, or you can go to the hotel and organize an excellent meal there. The cost of dishes and food products will please you, it is lower than in Russia. The market is open until midnight.

The downside is that the market is extremely noisy. In Thailand, it is customary to bargain, while attracting the public to your side. Solution: buy food and other goods in the shopping center, but the prices there are much higher.

In stationary markets, prices for goods are approximately the same, with the exception of mobile markets trading on various beaches and in other tourist centers: prices are higher there.

OTOP Market

You can go to this market in Patong to buy inexpensive consumer goods: swimwear, T-shirts, shorts, flip flops, glasses, bandanas, hats, cosmetics, covers, bags, suitcases, etc. It is located on Soi Rat Uthit Street, 200.

Kamala

In this area of Phuket, you can see two night markets that sell great food, delicious vegetables and fruits, as well as T-shirts, skirts, jeans and shoes at low prices. These markets are small and little known, so there are fewer people and less noise.

Kamala Talad Nat

The market is open exclusively on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is quite modest, but you will definitely find everything you need here. You can buy kebabs from meat or seafood from the heat, from the heat.

The market offers Thai fruits at an affordable price. Not far away, on Kamala Beach, there is a small sub-department of this market, but fruits are much more expensive there. It also sells the cheapest clothes.

Kamala Talad Nat is located in the south of Kamala. It is important to note that although the market is called a night market, it actually works until 18:00. Therefore, hurry up to go to it during the day, otherwise you will not have time.

Kamala Friday Market

The market is open 1 day a week - on Friday. It is located in the north of Kamala in the middle of a palm grove. A lot of tourists come here, so there is much more noise from people.

Friday Market works for tourists, here you can choose the most interesting Thai souvenirs, as well as national clothes, oils, Thai medicine preparations, etc. You will be happy with adequate prices for food and clothes.

To get to Friday Market, you need to move from the south of Kamala towards Surin. You can get there on foot, around the signs "Night Market", although the market actually closes at 19:00.

Kata

This is another well-known resort area in Phuket where you can wander through the two night markets in search of something interesting. There are fewer tourists here than in Patong, this is a great place for those who love solitude.

Grocery market on the street. Patak Road

Patak Road is the main road between the beaches of Kata and Karon, and there is a market on it. The cost of food here is less than in Patong, because. there are noticeably fewer vacationers, and competition between merchants is higher.

Clothing market on Katya

In addition to T-shirts, swimwear, shorts and slippers, there is a large offer of souvenirs, accessories for gadgets, etc., they will be a wonderful gift for your family and friends after returning home. This market is located on Kata Road.

Talad Nat

This is Phuket's famous mobile market. It is also located on Patak Road. Here is a wonderful selection of national skewers of chicken, meat and seafood. Open until 21:00 on Mondays and Thursdays.

Karon

This is the southernmost tourist area of Phuket, where you can see three night markets. Considering that the length of the island does not exceed 50 km, we recommend that you definitely take a ride to Karon to find out everything thoroughly.

Market near the Buddhist temple Wat Karon

There is a good selection of clothes, summer bags and beach accessories. You can take a walk, inspecting the goods, and have a snack with fruits, sweets, seafood kebabs, etc.

Night markets are specially created for those who do not like to walk under the scorching sun. Night they are called conditionally, due to the fact that they work in the dark. Open before sunset and open until 10-12 pm. Agree, it is much more pleasant to be here in the dark. Believe me, the heat from the barbecues and braziers will be enough for you.

There are many night markets in Phuket. Almost every beach will provide you with at least 1-2 rows of food and clothing. It is with the onset of darkness that the brisk trade begins here. But we will talk about the largest and cheapest weekend night market - Naka.

Where is the market

It is located in Phuket City. Approximately 1 km from the shopping complex "Central Festival".

We do not know the exact address of the night market in Phuket, but a description will be enough. If there is a problem, just tell the taxi driver "find market" and they will take you where you need to go.

Location on the map

Looking at the map, look for Wirat Hong Yok Rd. There is a beautiful Thai temple Wat Nakaram on it. And right in front of the temple is a night market.

If you come to the "Central Festival", you can walk to the market. To do this, go south down Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd to the junction with Wirat Hong Yok Rd and turn left.

On the left you will have a temple, and on the right is the market. Walk about 10-15 minutes.

Working hours

Naka is a weekend market. Operates only on Saturdays and Sundays. There is very little trade here on weekdays.

Opening hours - from 16 to 21-23.

Some merchants close early, so don't delay your visit.

How to get there

The easiest option is a taxi. In the form of a closed car or tuk-tuk, auto rickshaw, or even a bike (for those traveling alone).

Public transport can also be reached from various beaches. Focus on "Central Festival" or at the entrance to the bus ask "find market".

What to buy

We warn you right away, if you do not like markets, you should not go here. Have you ever been to "Vietnamese" the market or "a la Cherkizon". Approximately the same, but fairly flavored with specific smells of food and incense.

Everything your heart desires is here, from gadgets and watches to various types of cuisine. Do not expect to buy something expensive and serious. For such purchases, go to. In the market, you are likely to buy a cheap fake.

But there is a sea of inexpensive clothes and shoes. You don't have to carry suitcases of things with you, but buy everything here. Prices for T-shirts, slippers, shorts, skirts start from 200 rubles. You just need to take into account the fact that Thais are small both in height and complexion. Therefore, things of large sizes are problematic to find.

Women will be pleased with the choice of cosmetics - Thai and Korean. Reviews are good. But you need to look at the quality. It also sells underwear, bags, leather goods (mainly leatherette), souvenirs and even pets. Do not take children to these departments, because they will definitely want to buy a hamster or a puppy. And then you will have problems with veterinarians and customs.

All this is located on the covered part of the market. The open area offers gadgets, everything for them, watches, jewelry, bijouterie, bags, CDs and electronics.

Don't expect 200 baht watches or jewelry to be branded. But many people like to shop in Chinese online stores where the prices are the same. And here every thing will find its buyer.

A huge sector of the market is occupied by food. Here you can eat very hearty and cheap. Kebabs, sushi, pastries and cakes, fried noodles, stuffed rice, fish, seafood, meat, pancakes, fried insects and much, much more. All this is generously flavored with spices and smells incredibly delicious.

Here you will find a variety of fruits, moreover, already peeled and chopped. And what delicious fresh juices? Be sure to try.

However, not everyone likes such a cacophony of aromas. Look carefully at the appearance of the dish and the smell from the plate. Some complained that they came across rotten food.
