ตลาดลานกมลา — a locally used Kamala market with a high user rating
Quick read: Six reviewers gave an overall 4.7/5 score, and multiple guests describe a market primarily used by residents rather than tourists. This review focuses on what guests actually reported so you can decide whether to include it in your Kamala plans.
What you will actually find on site
- Fresh produce stalls selling fruits and vegetables
- Fresh fish and other seafood, oriented toward local buyers
- Cooked-food stalls and at least one noodle stand
- Some clothing stalls positioned in front of the market
- An open space adjacent to the market where a few cows were observed roaming
Hours, mapping and vendor rhythm you need to know
The provided schedule lists the market as open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. One guest noted that the place did not have a fixed point on Google Maps and that they added the exact location themselves, and another guest reported that they could not find official published hours. A different guest reported that only one fruit shop and one noodle stand operate full-time, which suggests vendor presence can vary across the day despite the general hours above.
Produce quality, selection and how to shop smart
- Prices for fruit are consistently reported as cheap by several guests
- There is a wide variety of fruit types available according to one reviewer
- Some guests warned that fruits are not always ripe, so look before you buy
- A fruit stall at the entrance will cut and pack fruit for takeaway if you prefer ready-to-eat portions
Actionable tips based on guest reports
- Expect a local-focused market with limited tourist services; if you rely on maps, verify the point beforehand because it may not be pre-mapped
- Because vendor schedules appear uneven, ask a stallholder or a local about peak vendor hours when you arrive
- Inspect fruit for ripeness before purchasing and use the entrance stall if you want pre-cut portions for convenience
- Payment options, parking, pet policy and accessibility are not specified in the available data; bring cash and small change to be safe
Contradictions guests revealed — what to expect versus reality
Guests consistently describe an inexpensive, locally used market, but they also report uneven vendor availability and a missing map location. In practice, that means the market feels like a neighborhood shopping spot rather than a dependable tourist attraction with fixed stall hours or full services.
Who benefits from visiting
If you want straightforward, low-cost produce and an experience that reflects everyday local commerce in Kamala, this market fits that purpose. If you need predictable vendor hours, extensive tourist amenities or guaranteed fully ripe fruit, plan accordingly and use the actionable tips above to avoid disappointment.
