Late afternoon to early evening when market stalls open and temperatures cool, offering the best atmosphere and golden light for photos.
Budget tips
No entry fee; markets are pay-as-you-go so carry cash and haggle politely on souvenirs, and skip sit-down waterfront restaurants for cheaper side-street eats.

About
Fakta singkat: Colorful wooden shophouses hug a narrow beachfront street, and a lively night market fills the air with sizzling woks, reggae beats, and the sweet smoke of grilled seafood. Local stalls and seaside restaurants top 30 in number, serving everything from charcoal-grilled squid to coconut desserts that pair perfectly with an icy Thai beer.
Sorotan: At sunset the pier becomes an amber stage where fishermen unload baskets of silver mackerel and tiger prawns, the salty air mixing with fried garlic and coconut smoke. On select full-moon nights roughly 12 lantern boats glide out into the bay, their paper lanterns reflecting as a string of orange coins while villagers clap and beat drums.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable sandals and sunscreen, wooden boardwalk sections can be uneven and sunny.
- Head to the pier at golden hour for classic sunset photos with long-tail boats in the foreground.
- Avoid Friday night walking street if you want quieter shopping; visit weekday evenings instead.
- Bring insect repellent for after-sunset strolls and small notes rather than large bills for easier transactions.
