If you want to walk around the town centre then morning is the best time, not only because it is relatively cool, but also because it gives you a chance to see the largest indoor market in southern Thailand: the morning food market. In the evening why not take a turn in the landscaped gardens parallel to the river which lead from the old pier to the new municipal sport facilities at Thara Park.
The Morning Market is fantastic, well worth a trip. It's located on Soi 9, Maharat Rd. From the monkey traffic lights in the centre of town, walk up to the Shell service station (150m) and turn left.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
