Tips

  • From Patong, Phuket Town markets are a 25–40 minute Grab — combine with Old Town bars.
  • Bring cash; many stalls don’t take cards.
  • Pick seafood by weight at Banzaan and confirm the price per kilo before it’s cooked.
  • Go early on Sunday — the Old Town street is packed by 19:00.

What is the best night market in Phuket?

The Sunday Walking Street in Phuket Old Town for atmosphere; Naka Weekend Market for size; Banzaan in Patong if you only have one evening.

Is there a night market in Patong?

Yes — Banzaan Market behind Jungceylon and Malin Plaza both run daily into the late evening.
