Come the weekend, islanders descend on the weekend night market in Krabi town. Atmospheric, fragrant and at times chaotic, it's abuzz with stalls selling everything from smoothies and curries to trinkets, clothing and art. A local guide will give you the lowdown on the 100% Thai experience.
As with any Thai market, the street food ranges from the spicy to the exotic – especially seafood such as freshly grilled giant prawns, squid, clams, and oysters. With the help of your guide, you'll be able to navigate the market's stalls and their eager owners. You'll be tempted to try some dishes.
It's also a great place to grab a bargain souvenir or two to bring home. You'll spot plenty of handicrafts, second-hand goods, clothing, jewellery and accessories. And there's always a great caricature artist or local painter, too. A great evening mingling with locals.
