What to do and see in Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Province: The Best Flea & Street Markets
You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

Covered ตลาด positioned around cinco minutes norte de Chiang Mai, where el suelo and las encimeras are unbroken tile making them very straightforward to clean and maintain. So great hygiene in a ตลาด which specialises in foodstuffs - mainly prepared items including แกง, stir fries and grilled dead တိရိစ္ဆာန်။ Very little ภาษาอังกฤษ labelling so you’ll need to be careful if you’re เจ/သက်သတ်လွတ်/vegano, since even a lot of the stir fries for instance have bits of dismembered animals ဟင်းသီဟင်းရွက်များအောက်မှာရှိတယ်။ One end of the covered mercado is devoted to fresh produce - ผัก y သစ်သီး - but in my experience their presence isn’t always as regular as the prepared foods vendedores. No hay asientos.

Khamthiang Market is a gem in Chiang Mai. The hidden-away flower market offers a wide variety of flora and fauna and is right next to the Lotus Supermarket. It is a great place to see where locals shop for flowers.

The market sets up just outside the Chang Phuek Gate or the North Gate of the Old City. Many vendors offer a range of authentic northern Thai dishes. The food is tasty and economical. You can either eat it there or take away. For a truly authentic experience, pull up a tiny plastic chair and order your food so that you can enjoy the food there. Our favorite Thai street foods are Vegan Pad Thai and Mango with Sticky Rice .

We spent two months in southeast Asia recently and visited a number of night markets. This was probably the best, all told. Ver large, plenty of food, even some entertainment, clothing, souvenirs, etc., all of high quality. Interestingly, the market stretches down one of Chiang Mai's main streets, with some off-shoots, and so you also get interesting night-time views of some of the more important temples, buildings, etc. Great night market.

Located in the center of town, the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is not to be missed. Travelers can take in rows and rows of handicrafts, from purses to sparkling jewelry. Just make sure to watch your wallet as pickpockets abound.
