Despite the advent of modern supermarkets and shopping malls across Thailand, local markets are still an integral part of life for many Thai people. Every area of every city and every town generally has a morning market that specializes in fresh, local produce and is quite the social hub for many people. Unless you live in Thailand, the morning markets may not feature on your itinerary, but the growing amount of night markets should. Although many night markets sell local produce, the focus is generally on freshly cooked meals, music, and shopping.
If you’re staying at Centre Point Korat and want to experience the local market culture, our staff can point you towards the local morning markets where you can experience a traditional Thai market where little has changed for hundreds of years. If you prefer market hopping in the evening, we highly recommend SaveoneKorat (Save One Market) and NBK Korat. Both these night markets offer a staggering number of products, with everything from fashion shops to IT products and plant shops. Both markets offer a world of food choices, including local Issan food (spicey!), traditional Thai food, and several international options. So, next time you're in Korat, why not check them out? Book your accommodation directly with us today for the best room rates and take advantage of any special promotions we are offering. We promise you #alwaysagoodtime every single time!
