CHIANG MAI - SUNDAY WALKING STREET MARKET

The Sunday Market is a large market located right in the center of the old walled city area of Chiang Mai. Starting at the THA PHAE GATE at one end, the Sunday Market extends for roughly 1km down the full length of RATCHADAMNOEN ROAD. Its started from 4pm till midnight.




This market is a real showcase of the art and craftsmanship of Northern Thailand. Many of the stallholders have personally made the items they sell and the many hand crafted objects are a testimony to the skills and inventiveness of local people.

The goods available here are made from an incredible array of materials including : wood, metals, ceramics, fabrisc, paper, coconuts and much much more. The products are truly authentic and original and are the prefect place to find gifts or beautiful things that heart desires.
















Food and drinks are also available here. There are numbers of temples along Rachadamnoen Road and their grounds are open to vendors, many of whom sells fabulous local treats fresh cooked before your eyes.









It is also the best place to see genuine Thai style street entertainment. Right along the length of the road are pavement artists of all descriptions, traditional musicians, dancers, living statues, puppet shows, and even rock bands. This all adds to the festive nature of the market and makes it an unmissable event.
