Naka Market is the largest bazaar in the Phuket area. Like many of the local bazaars, it is open only on Saturdays and Sundays, so when the weekend comes, the crowds of people arrives!
You will find here almost everything! First of all, there are dozens of stands with different types of food - meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, sweets, drinks - it is impossible to leave the place hungry!
All the ingredients are fresh and the dishes are prepared in front of your eyes.
Besides food, you can also buy here dresses, shorts, shoes, hats, watches, toys, cosmetics, jewellery, souvenirs, handmade items, knives and even live animals! You will find here everything!
Think about something you need and I’m sure that when you walk between the alleys you will sooner or later find it! It's amazing how many extraordinary things you can buy here.
And what about prices? They are only a suggestion and an invitation to having fun!
Not only is it cheap here, but you can also haggle a little bit with everyone!
Many people do not speak English very well, but you can communicate with them in a different way! You have to use a gesture, show thing with your finger and help yourself with a calculator.
Negotiations are always made with a smile and positive energy. Nobody is offended, everyone wants to do a little business and are kind as only a Thai can be.
Remember that Naka Market is also a kingdom of fakes! Here you'll find Nike shoes, Newera hats, Gucci bags and even Rolex watches In fact, you will find most of the products with top brand logos here.
It's amazing that all these things look like their original versions at first look. The main difference from them is that they are several times cheaper!
When you are tired of walking between the alleys you can find a corner where smiling girls will massage your painful feet and comfortable chairs will allow for a moment of relax!
The number of stands and people is breathtaking.
We spent about 4 hours here, and I have the impression that we saw only a small part of what Naka Market has to offer.
If you are in the Phuket area, you have to vist this place and feel its unique atmosphere!
