INSIDER TIPS
Thanon Sukhon –Krabi isnt short of street
markets, but go to Thanon
Sukhon where the locals fl ock.
This night market offers great
bargains for funky souvenirs,
clothes, hammocks or snacks.
Prices are kept reasonable to
attract locals but vendors are
always up for some haggling.
Every evening until 9pm. Night
