Among the night markets you can explore during your Phuket

to set. You can enjoy a pleasant atmosphere during your visit with some
excellent musical performances happening at the heart of the market. It also
gives you some impressive choices in fashion, food, and other items. This
market is located by the side of Yaowarat Road, which is on the way that leads
to Phuket Town. The market also gives its visitors wider choices on Thursdays,
Fridays, and Saturdays when small hawkers set up their tents or stalls to sell
their wares.
The Weekend Market, also called Naka Market, is yet
another fascinating night market you can visit during your time spent in this
Thai destination. It is located along Chao Fa West Road and offers a variety of
delectable local treats at its food stalls in addition to the second-hand goods
and pirated items. You'll come across two sections while getting around in this
market. One is the open market and the other is the covered section. The market
provides fabulous selections of T-shirts, denim, and some good carvings and
images that you can take home as souvenirs.
When you're in the Old Town of Phuket, don't forget to
explore the Walking Street. It is a weekly market, which was started in 2013
and is located on Thalang Road amidst the Sino-Portuguese district. You'll get
to taste some culinary specialities of southern Thailand and discover the local
handicrafts upon exploring this exciting night market. Food and souvenirs are
the two main items sold in this part of Phuket's Old Town. If you're travelling

featuring several attractions for children at this place, such as toy stalls
and a trampoline.
Don't miss the twice-weekly Indy Market located on
Dibuk Road, which is also known as 'laadploykong' in the Thai language. The
word translates as 'a market to let go of your goods'. It is also a place
visited mostly by the local young adults and teenagers to have loads of fun, as
the market is a thrilling mix of vendors and talented performers. You'll be
able to browse through this market in less than 20 minutes as it is quite small
and relatively unknown. However, it is a great place to uplift your mood and

back home at the artist booths.
