Chiang Mai’s most famous market runs only once a week, so if you’re only in town for just one weekend, make sure you head here on a Sunday evening. The 1-km-long stretch is situated in the heart of the city’s main tourist area and runs from Tha Pae Gate going toward Ratchadamnoen Road in the west.

The road is closed to traffic from 4 pm creating a temporary walking street. On sale, you’ll find a huge variety of handicrafts, souvenirs, and accessories. Aside from the shopping, the area comes alive with food vendors, makeshift bars and roadside massage neighborhoods for a quick foot rub.
