Chao Fah Pier night market

It is in Krabi Town, beside the river, a drive from Ao Nang. Krabi Town is a separate trip from the beach, so take a Grab, Bolt, taxi or songthaew and agree the fare first for anything not booked in an app. Booze Bar and Grace's Irish Pub are close by.

It is a set of riverside food stalls in Krabi Town. Krabi Town is more local than Ao Nang, with night markets but little nightlife, so expect a casual evening of street food by the water, not a party. It suits a meal and a wander.

Nearby are Booze Bar (Reggae Bar), Grace's Irish Pub, sa-bai, Body Kneads, Ole Bar and Wiranda. That is a mix of bars and massage places within a short walk, so you can eat at the stalls and then have a drink or a massage without going far.

If you want a local evening, yes. Ao Nang has its own night market, so the reason to come is the riverside setting and the Krabi Town atmosphere. Combine it with a drink at one of the nearby bars, and plan your ride back before you start.

Chao Fah is a set of riverside food stalls in Krabi Town. The weekend walking street is a street market with food, crafts and live music in the same town. Chao Fah suits a quick meal by the river, while the walking street suits a wander on a weekend evening.

A little. Booze Bar (Reggae Bar), Grace's Irish Pub and Ole Bar are close, but Krabi Town has little nightlife compared with Ao Nang. If you want beer bars, Ao Nang's Centre Point is the cluster. Treat the market as the main event and the bars as a nightcap.

Keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket, check the change you are given and agree any taxi or songthaew fare before you get in. Eat where the stalls are busy. If you are drinking nearby afterwards, check the bill, and use Grab or Bolt for the ride back.

Go hungry in the early evening, walk the stalls once and eat by the river. Follow it with a drink at Grace's Irish Pub or a massage at one of the nearby shops. Carry small notes, and arrange your ride back to Ao Nang or the airport side before you leave.
