★★★★★3 weeks agoA great night market with a wide variety of stalls to explore. It’s the perfect place to shop for souvenirs, pick up a pair of Thai elephant pants, enjoy delicious local food for dinner, and grab some fresh tropical fruits. A fun and lively place to experience the local atmosphere—definitely worth a visit!
