Very youthful, creative and laid-back night market which is known for its cool design : micro- boutiques, refreshing authentic local experience, bars and cafés. A standout feature is the diverse food offerings: grilled seafood, chicken, tropical fruits and desserts. It also features a central stage for live performances. Plus it’s a great place for shopping . It’s a must visit place in Phuket.

Nice night market with a good variety of food stalls. There’s also a beer garden area and some souvenir shops. A decent place to walk around, grab something to eat, and relax in the evening

Hip and bohemian village market in Phuket Town, with shipping‑container bars, live music, and creative street food. Think grilled seafood, coconut pancakes, and insect snacks. Trendy apparel, vintage items, second‑hand accessories. Open Wed–Sat, 5 pm–11 pm. Vibrant yet a bit less chaotic than Naka. Slight pest issue at dusk (moths/fireflies)—part of the charm!

Super cute and vibrant night market, it was a nice surprise ! The market has a good mix of food stalls, cool clothing, and souvenir shops. The live music stage and Orchester made it a lively and enjoyable spot to visit. The food was a bit more expensive than I expected but at least it was delicious and authentic. I totally recommend for a few hours 😊

When is the best time to visit Chillva Market (Phuket, Thailand)?
