Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great open air market, making it more bearable in the heat. Goods selection of items/souvenirs and food. Open Tuesday and Friday. Worth a visit. Don’t miss the donuts near the main entrance, they are delicious!

Beautiful somewhere not to be missed. You must include this on your must visit list. A quiet place to relax or marvel at the beautiful buildings.

On arriving to Thailand we actually stumbled upon this market and although it was on our original bucket list we didn't realise this until the next day (blame jet lag) and so glad we did so as the food and variety was on point the diversity, smells and taste was amazingly good and although we didn't actually purchase much the atmosphere had us rejuvenated for our Thailand experience. Pointers - we actually went twice - on our first night we went around 8.30pm and was very busy and on our second trip we arrived around 4pm which was quiet but also beneficial as the sellers were awaiting their first sale which meant cheaper prices for us - just remember to be more confident in bargaining as we originally bargained for half the asking price and bartered from there until we were both happy with the prices also we had the opportunity to see the actual temple which was a bonus and we also seen our first monk which was special

This has got so much better and bigger since our last visit in 2018. Lots of choice and you can have a good banter and a laugh when bartering.
Make sure you haggle, without being rude and there’s so much to see and buy. Some things are more expensive - like the spices, I bought the same spice packet in 7/11 for less…. But you’re there for the atmosphere.

Excellent market in Karon just up about 300 mtrs from the round about , stalls have plenty of options you get at most markets but this one does have a good range of food from the normal to some bugs and grass hoppers etc , absolutely well worth the visit , The temple is quite nice as well , spend a few hours shop and eat

I’ve been to temple markets once before in 2011 and loved it but this time was a bit disappointing. I remember the here being a very large area with rows and rows of just stalls for and this had dwindled down to a very small area. The shop stalls are nice but I really came back for the food and there barely anything. I hope it bounces back to what it once was now that tourism is back on track.The temple itself is stunning though and well worth a visit.
