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

Dinner first, then shopping. That's how I would approach the night market in Ao Nang, because the food stalls are the real reason to visit: grilled seafood, noodle dishes, tropical fruits – all at prices that won't break the day's budget. The stalls with clothing, handicrafts, and souvenirs are certainly worth a look after dinner, but they aren't the main reason to go.

The shop is open every evening from 5 pm to 10 pm, making it the perfect place to quickly pick up something after a day at the beach. It's best to arrive right when it opens if you'd prefer to browse in peace rather than wait in line – especially on weekends when it gets crowded quickly. The atmosphere is so relaxed that an hour can easily turn into two. The clientele is a diverse mix, not just tourists. My tip: Stroll around the entire shop before buying anything, and then return to the fragrance you liked best.
