Krabi Walking Street

Posted by admin on February 8th, 2010 filed in Uncategorized, attractions, travel tips

Last year, during the month of January, a new market set up shop every weekend in the centre of Krabi town. Initially, the market was a temporary fixture; however, it was such a success during its first month that residents voted to give it a regular slot each weekend.

The market, now known as ‘Krabi Walking Street’, is held in the streets behind the town’s main department store, Vogue, each weekend. The market differs from the town’s other night markets, placing more emphasis on the sale of handicrafts, high quality food and nightly entertainment.

A large stage is the focal point, with various acts providing entertainment each weekend. Performances take place amongst the vendors too, such as break dancing, acoustic sessions and traditional dance.

A central seating area allows shoppers to enjoy their goodies while soaking up the lively atmosphere of the market. Visitors on the lookout for souvenirs will find a wide selection available at very reasonable prices, including wooden handicrafts, jewellery and clothing.

Krabi Walking Street is open from 17:00 until 22:00 from Friday to Sunday.
