No matter what kind of travel style you have, the wild nightlife in Krabi town is something you just can’t skip. Being a nightlife party freak, I captured some exciting facts about the best places to party in Krabi.
I observed that many of you guys land at the airport of Krabi town, pick a minivan straight to Ao Nang, one of the most developed and popular beach towns in the region.
Many of you are not aware the nightlife at Krabi town is more attractive than in Ao Nang.
Seriously, this is what I observed when visited those regions. While it can’t join the same league as Bangkok nightlife, Krabi has its own distinctive choice of entertainment opportunities after dark.
Are you looking to sip a chilled drink on the beachside, or looking to have a special lager at an offbeat theme pub or night of heart thumbing moves on a glitzy dance floor?
Regardless, nightlife at Krabi Island surely delights you! Here you go some of the best nightlife spots that make both decent and wild Krabi party areas.

Night Markets in Krabi Town
Krabi Walking Street is the most famous night market in the town. This is known as one of the largest night markets in the whole of Sothern Thailand.
It would be a great place to start your evenings not much for the typical clothes selection and some variety of accessories and things you might not need, but it is more for the atmospheric outdoor seating area with a huge number of food stalls offering snack and drink vendors all surrounding the market.
The market at Krabi Walking Street is set up on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from around 5 pm to 11 pm.
There are also a couple more daily night markets in Krabi Town. One is set up at riverside and is most popular for foreign tourists. And the other is situated at Vicar Road and is most popular for local Thais.
So, having calm beaches with exiting night parties, lively bars, and nightclubs surrounded by bustling markets, Krabi is a small awesome town with its great cocktails, sheer romance, excitement, and heart-thumping dances that light up Krabi’s nightlife and should not be missed by any party freaks like me and many of you.
