While worldschooling with our kids, we really like to immerse ourselves in the local environment of the country that we are visiting. Finding and shopping at a local market is one of the ways to experience local culture, local foods, interact with local people, learn at least a little bit of local language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically local markets are tend to be vibrant, colorful and distinctive from the markets in a tourist areas. After spending a month in Ao Nang, we found that local markets are the best- not only they have a better selection for the fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, meats, eggs and of course lots and lots of stalls of fresh and authentic Thai food, but they also brigs more value- it has local prices! We calculated that most items at the local market are twice less of the amount it would cost at the market in a tourist area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also Ao Nang night market, that is open every night from 5 pm- although the whole idea of this market is for the tourists as it is on the main road and caters to the them- Ao Nang Night Market <\/a> – it has lots of different varieties of foods as well as souvenir shops and a couple of trampolines for the kids to enjoy while you grab a beer or\/and a bite to eat.
