I would says its as whimsical experience. Starting at dusk around 4 PM, Chiang Mai's Old city transforms from a historical laid back town of temples, eateries, shops and hotels with tuk tuks, bicycles and cars roaming through its roads into a magical night filled with hundreds of stalls, closing the road and lights turning up all around. From this point everyone in Chiang Mai settles into Tha Pae Walking Street night market. It only happens on Sunday from 4 PM till midnight. With Chiang Mai's temperature starts to become cooler around this time, it is a very delightful, wonderful and enjoyable experience walking around and I mean for hours until your feet gets tired. The market showcases not only bargain clothes, footwear, accessories, and souvenirs but Chiang Mai's arts, crafts and music are very much displayed here. Traditional musicians and live bands play at the intersections. Paintings, Vases, Wooden/Ceramic/Glass arts are showcase - my favorite are the cute Cat figurines. Food is very abundant - traditional Thai sweets, Street foods and Exotic ones. Drinks are everywhere so you won't get thirsty. Very unique and cute street foods like Chocolate coated fruits are everywhere. In between the stalls you could find open seating restaurants. Temples are alighted blooming with beautiful night lanterns in different colors. Museums, Massage shops, Cafes, and Bars are also there if ever you need some relaxation. But what's really amazing about this are the people - despite the throngs of crowds both tourists and locals alike there is always a room for everyone. I even took a couple of photos and videos for beautiful memories. After walking for 4 hours we called it a night - happy and satisfied for the food, clothes and souvenirs we bought. So if you go to Chiang Mai make it a point to go on a Sunday so you can experience this Magical Night Market.

Covered ตลาด positioned around cinco minutes norte de Chiang Mai, where el suelo and las encimeras are unbroken tile making them very straightforward to clean and maintain. So great hygiene in a ตลาด which specialises in foodstuffs - mainly prepared items including แกง, stir fries and grilled dead တိရိစ္ဆာန်။ Very little ภาษาอังกฤษ labelling so you’ll need to be careful if you’re เจ/သက်သတ်လွတ်/vegano, since even a lot of the stir fries for instance have bits of dismembered animals ဟင်းသီဟင်းရွက်များအောက်မှာရှိတယ်။ One end of the covered mercado is devoted to fresh produce - ผัก y သစ်သီး - but in my experience their presence isn’t always as regular as the prepared foods vendedores. No hay asientos.

Khamthiang Market is a gem in Chiang Mai. The hidden-away flower market offers a wide variety of flora and fauna and is right next to the Lotus Supermarket. It is a great place to see where locals shop for flowers.

Wattana Art Gallery, Chiang Mai, Thailand Where can I see contemporary art in Chiang Mai? Tourists and art lovers are left asking this question after they have seen all the Wats and visited the craft villages.

Presently, he is an academic consultant to the Fine Arts Faculty, Chiang Mai University.Wattana’s art work incorporates traditional Thai motifs in a contemporary perspective. The work expresses social commentary on the changing and corrupted cultural environment and makes us question the nature of beauty.Come visit Wattana Art Gallery and enjoy organic coffee, exotic snacks and available WiFi in the Coffee Corner while you experience this unique gallery designed as an art sanctuary -- a quiet place for contemplation about beauty and aesthetics, where art is inseparable from life.
This private gallery is stunning. The building is beautiful and the art diverse and exquisite. The artist lives next door and was in the gallery when I visited. He is friendly and well-travelled. I ended up being invited to an opening. A visit here would be easy to combine with a visit to Wat Umong which is quite unique as well.
