This market is a paradise for tourists. There are many places where you can have a snack. You can buy fruits here, and all sorts of different gifts home. I bought a basket here to transport fruits home to Russia. I recommend transporting fruits this way (we handled the transportation very well, despite the fact that besides the plane, the fruits were on the train, and I bought all the ripe fruits).
The Night Market on Karon is open 2 times a week, from 17.00 to 00.00. This time it was Tuesday and Friday. My friends flew here that year, and the same market was open on Mondays and Thursdays. In general, the schedule may vary (ask your hotel guide).
The market is big, there is everything! That's it, that's it, that's it!!!! The first part of the market, a small one, is fruits, seafood, etc., and the second part, the largest, is things, souvenirs, cosmetics (pastes, creams, oils, hygienic lipsticks, shampoos, etc.), etc.
We walked there for 3 - 3.5 hours, bought presents for everyone. By the way, we took clothes for the children and for ourselves: I can say that the quality is good, local production, prices are adequate.
What is confusing and why is it 4 and not 5? I was confused by the unrealistic number of people, the crush, the crush, the noise, the hum, the loud music (there is a stage on the market where the concert took place), you can't hear yourself and you have to shout over everyone and everything to ask for something and pay. In general, it's a complete mess. My energy vessel was drained within the first hour...
in general, be prepared for such a state. I wish you a lot of energy, strength and patience :)))
You can eat delicious and inexpensive food here. We have been visiting this cafe for more than 5 years, on every visit. It is better to come to dinner before 7 pm, you can order some types of seafood. There is a Wi-Fi connection. I recommend
Excellent prices for fruits, a large assortment of food of different sizes, you can buy gifts, and some things you need to bargain, delicious fish, barbecue like
It's a very colorful place. Large and delicious portions. They bring it quickly. I recommend trying banana pancakes.

It's interesting to sit and eat. Sometimes there is live music (the man sings in different languages). To buy something, it is better to go deep into the market 30-40 meters, it will be cheaper and they will be more willing to give a discount.
The market is not very big. Probably my expectations did not coincide with reality). I thought like on all the videos about Tai, there would be a lot of interesting food. In fact, the market is flea market and there are very few food stalls and there is such a talkuchka that for the second time nc does not care about it.
The market is a class. Inexpensive and far from hiking trails. That's why it's cheap. Thais themselves shop there. There is even a local trance there). There is a cool supermarket nearby, where you can easily stock up.
A large market, designed mainly for tourists, here you can have a massage, get a haircut, and eat, you can buy some small things, like a mirror, a purse, a lot of small things. There are also some kind of pharmacies. There are a lot of interesting things.
A large market, open 2 times a week, Tuesday and Friday, from about 17:00. You can bargain and make a discount on the product. We bought a lot of things, it's better to come from other beaches by bike, it's the cheapest way!
