Sunday Walking Street

We loved the Sunday Night Market located in the center of old city. We were skeptical at first because we'd visited some other "Night Markets" outside of the old city near the river. Those by the river were a waste of time. Same cheap stuff block after block.The Sunday Night Market in the center of town is truly filled with many unique items. All sorts of stuff from delicious handmade candies, to bags made from teak leafs, to hand drawn t-shirt, to all sorts of craft items we never saw anywhere else in Chiang Mai.They also featured a talent show with young dancers...so all in all, it was a nice evening walking around. It was packed with people.

As we was staying at the Tamarind Village who's bamboo arch entrance leads directly to the street. We was conveniently located for this fantastic array of local craft goods. Different to those at the nightly market across town. Market starts at 5pm when the street is close to traffic and runs entire lenght of the street . Gets very busy a few hours later around 7 to 9 pm with wall to wall people. Plenty of photo opportunities.

Our flight arrived in the late afternoon, we dropped our bags as soon as we got to the hotel to hit to the sunday market and it was not disappointed at all... Lots of stands, street food and cheap goods... It only happens on sunday whole day till midnight-1amThings comparing to the night bazaar is a bit cheaper... so make sure to stop by if you were there on sunday

Part of the fun is just walking and looking at all the handicraft items that are on sale. A good place to buy souvenirs and a good place to sample some local dishes, like padthai andsausages. Enjoy!
