The market was a lot of fun with all kinds of different authentic dishes being prepared. Very cheap and you could get anything from bugs to taro balls! Great way to eat cheap.
3. Tha Pae Walking Street

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.

A nice place to spend the evenings where you can browse the arts and crafts, sit in the open air and listen to live music, you have a great choice of food, the Cicada market though is only open at the weekends and can be very busy if you a going by car.

7. Sunday Walking Street Market (Lard Yai)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 471 reviews
Sundays are lively affair along Phuket Town's Thalang Road, where the island's famous Walking Street (locally called Lard Yai) hosts 30+ stalls selling local fare and handicraft products.
Reviewed By trdonna - Sydney, Australia
We had a great Sunday night wander up and down sampling loads of different street food options. It had rained during the day but fined up in the late afternoon so we took the chance it would still be on and I am so glad we did! There was some great opportunities to stop and watch some street performers and when it got a bit crowded (as it got later) there were street side cafes to escape into to sit down a bit removed form the hustle and bustle whilst still able to people watch. My tip would be to go early before it gets too hectic - we went in low season and that was busy enough for me!

The hip Chillva Night Market is a reflection of Phuket's bohemian lifestyle and fondness for airy modern aesthetics. Here, shoppers seeking trendy products rub elbows with folks coming for a night out.

We’re visiting Phuket on our honeymoon & were determined to hit a night market during our stay in Phuket. Chillva was a beautiful, authentic experience with enough variety to be enjoyable but not enough to be overwhelming! The atmosphere is super chilled out & the street food stalls were delish & super affordable. We brought a few scarves for gifts & a pair of shoes & watch & LOTS of different food & drink. All up we spent less than $50 including our taxi there. A hotspot for locals more so than tourists which is always my guide to a great place! Definitely recommend it for a fun, relaxed night out!
