If you are a shopaholic, Thailand is the place to go! The country abounds with markets from one end to the other where you can always find a variety of products from cheap touristy trinkets to high-quality hand-crafted items. The Chiangmai Night Bazaar is one of the many locations in this city to find great stuff for great prices. Don’t get it confused with the two other large, weekly markets that spring up in the city; the Saturday Walking Street which occurs every Saturday evening on Wualai Road which begins just outside of Chiangmai Gate and the Sunday Walking Street which runs on Sunday evenings from Tapae Gate up to the center of the old city. Both these markets have an abundance of local handcrafts and foods of every kind.
How to Find It
Getting to the Chiangmai Night Bazaar is easy! Any songthaew or tuk tuk driver will know what you are talking about if you say you want to go to the night bazaar or night market. It’s also easy to walk there from the main gate in the old part of town (Tapae Gate). It takes 10 or 15 minutes if you decide to walk. Head down Tapae Road away from the old part of town until you get to Chang Klan Road and then turn right. By the time you get to the intersection, it will be easy enough to spot the bazaar set up along both sides of the street. Read More
