    Saturday Walking Street

    Posted by happytraveler 14 October 2006

    It is a lesser know local market that is created on Saturday nights by closing a street just out of Chiang Mai gate. It is open from about 5pm till 11pm and has lots of unique items that are only found there.

    The real treat is that it is for locals more than westerners so you can people watch and enjoy the Thai people without being hassled by vendors like at a night bazaar but they have enough English to get understood.

    It is not so big that you feel lost or overcrowded but enough to fill the evening with things to see.
    Many of the local day stores are open late from shops selling handmade silver to a wedding boutique that has Thai and western wedding dresses - so lots to see.

    Wualai road in the heart of the Silver treet area, just outside the Chiang Mai gate.

    Sunday market

    Posted by herbalthaimassage 30 January 2006

    Everyone likes to do some bargain shopping. In Chiang Mai, the night market is almost a “must see” place. But, if you can, save all your shopping for the Sunday market. When I was there (January - April 2004), it operated almost every Sunday. It is open from noon to late night.

    It's just outside the Thai Pat Gate. The Nerve Touch Massage Studio is near the Gate entrance. You will be surprised what you can buy there
