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

The food is the real reason to visit, and it's not located right at the entrance. Head to the back, towards the street, where you'll find stalls selling Thai specialties, a good selection of international cuisine (including German and Spanish dishes), cocktails and soft drinks, desserts, and a fruit stand at the far end near the 7-Eleven. For those with more unusual tastes, you'll also find scorpions and insects. The front section is the shopping area, offering jewelry, bags, clothing, shoes, souvenirs, electronics, and all sorts of knick-knacks. There's also entertainment along the way – making it a perfect place for an evening out, not just a quick shopping trip.

You often hear about the night market in Fisherman's Village. On Fridays, the Walking Street takes place along the beach promenade; on other evenings, it's mainly shops and restaurants. The night market itself has stalls. It's very busy, and you have to walk quite a bit, so it's best to wear something you can stand in for a few hours.
