Kata Night Market, on Kata New Road, is a tourist-oriented market known for its wide range of inexpensive Thai food. It has large food courts and many stalls selling fashion accessories, bags and souvenirs.
Why Kata Night Market
What makes Kata Night Market different from many other night markets in Phuket is its design. The market has high ceilings and a spacious layout, which keeps it cooler and airier and makes it a comfortable place to shop and look for bargains.
Kata Night Market is a permanent structure with three vast domed pavilions. On the right of the entrance, large gorilla statues welcome you to the food court. The front part is set aside for the bar, and there are tables and seats where you can rest and enjoy your meal. The food court serves Thai food with plenty of seafood, at reasonable prices.
The other two sections of the market have ordinary market stalls where you can buy almost anything, including artwork, fashion accessories, herbal products and souvenirs, as well as lots of bags and T-shirts.
Kata Night Market is popular with many tourists because it is less noisy and congested than some markets, which makes shopping easy and enjoyable.
