Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Early in the morning between 6 and 9, because that is when the market is most lively and the goods are freshest. The winter season from October to February offers the most pleasant weather for walking around.
Budgettips
The market itself is free to visit. Bring cash in small denominations; 20-50 taka banknotes work well. You can haggle for goods, but the prices are already very low because the sellers are the producers themselves.

Over
Korte feiten: This is one of the oldest and largest farmers' markets in the Patuakhali region, where local farmers have been selling their produce directly since the 1970s. Here you can find rare local rice varieties and the freshest tropical fruits that you would look for in vain at big city markets.
Hoogtepunten: Every Tuesday there is a lively livestock market here, where local breeders bring their best goats, sheep and cattle. It is a colorful and noisy event that attracts people from far away. The market comes to life already in the pre-dawn twilight, as the bleating of hundreds of animals and bird sounds fill the air.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, because the market is spread over a large area and the paths can be muddy after rain.
- The best photos can be taken at the vegetable stalls in the morning light, where the bright colors stand out especially well.
- Avoid Sundays, because that is when the crowds are the largest and moving through the narrow aisles is difficult.
- Try the local 'shingara' filled pastry, sold at the market entrance; it is a very popular breakfast among locals.
