About this place

Open nightly from 6 PM to midnight, this massive market serves Phuket's working population with some of the island's most authentic and spicy southern Thai food. The curry vendors use recipes passed down through generations of Muslim-Thai families, and prices are a fraction of tourist areas. The fruit section has exotic varieties like langsat and rambai that are rarely seen elsewhere, and the cloth market has genuine batik fabrics from local artisans.
