                <description><![CDATA[This is the best tourist map of Chiang Mai and I recommend this above any other map or guidebook. It is especially good if you want to SHOP!.<br>It is available from major bookstores in Bangkok. If you want to buy it before you leave it might be difficult to find. The only place I have found is <a target="_new" href="http://www.tripneeds.com">www.tripneeds.com</a>. They seem to have other maps of Thailand as well.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[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. <br><br>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. <br><br>It is not so big that you feel lost or overcrowded but enough to fill the evening with things to see. <br>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.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>
