Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

If you're staying in Kamala, this afternoon excursion is a good option. Otherwise, the detour to the island isn't really worth it. It's a modest open-air market, about a 15-minute walk from the beach. Reviewers who have already explored the markets in Phuket are honest about its size. It's neither the biggest nor the most flashy, but it's straightforward, inexpensive, and has an authentic, local feel.

The food is the main reason to visit. Sushi is available for around 50 baht for five pieces, along with meat skewers, coconut ice cream, fresh juices, fish and meat at the counter, and plenty of halal options. You can eat your fill for a few hundred baht. The rest of the stock consists of clothing, shoes, bags, sunglasses, watches, and the usual knick-knacks. The listed price is just a guide; haggling is definitely worthwhile! If you find what you're looking for here, you'll leave satisfied and with a bag full of T-shirts.

Arrive early if you prefer browsing to clicking through the presentations. It's more lively and busier in the evening.
