Early morning (7:00-9:00 AM) for the freshest produce and most authentic atmosphere. Market days are daily, but mornings are busiest.

Suitable For

  • Foodies, culture enthusiasts, photographers, budget travelers

Tips

  • Bring small bills/cash. Prices are much cheaper than in Old Town. Try local breakfast items like rice noodles and steamed buns. The market can be crowded and slippery—wear closed shoes. It's located just outside the Old Town's south gate. Combine with morning exploration of local streets.
