Krabi Town Night Market

This guide to the Krabi Town Night Market opens with the province's own name, sword in old Siamese, and the story of a blade said to have been dug from the ground when the settlement was first cleared. You'll hear about the provincial seal's crossed swords, then walk Maharaj Road on a weekend evening past charcoal grills, satay, pad thai, and roti, toward the river where that first blade was supposedly found. A tip: come hungry before the live music stage fills up.
