About Krabi Town Walking Street (Chao Fah Night Market)
This is where you eat well and cheap. Krabi Town's weekend walking street and riverside night market is stacked with Thai street food, local snacks, live music, and stalls, and it feels more genuinely local than the tourist-focused Ao Nang strip.
Come hungry and graze. The food is the whole point, and the atmosphere with the live music makes it an easy, fun evening.
One thing to plan around: the full walking street only runs on weekend nights, though the riverside food market goes most evenings. If you are staying in Ao Nang, it is a short taxi ride over.
Highlights
- Cheap, authentic Thai street food
- Riverside setting with live music
- More local than the Ao Nang strip
- Lively weekend evening atmosphere
Tips
- Come Friday to Sunday for the full walking street
- Arrive hungry, the food is the highlight
- From Ao Nang it is a short taxi ride
- The riverside food market runs most evenings if you miss the weekend
