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

Most night markets in Thailand are limited to Fridays and Saturdays and therefore require some planning. This one is different. It opens daily at 2 pm and closes at 10 pm. So, if you happen to arrive in Korat on a Tuesday and fancy grabbing a bite to eat and browsing, you've already got your pick.

It's an authentic local market, not a tourist trap. Clothes, shoes, phone cases – all the everyday necessities that people buy here. Alongside these are countless Thai street food stalls offering the most popular dishes at prices geared towards those on a budget. Come around 4 or 5 pm if you prefer a more relaxed browsing experience. Come around 7 pm if you like it lively and bustling – and frankly, that's the better option. Don't expect handicraft stalls or carefully curated goods. You won't find that here.

It is located on Thanon Mittraphap, the main street through the city, and covers real terrain, so wear shoes that you can walk well in.
