After a period of 20 years, I could not wait to visit the Chiangmai night market. One thing for sure, it was not the same as it was years ago.
So much has progressed in the city and the night market itself. The market area is now built in a more comfortable surrounding and has spread to over a number of places.
One is able to find all types of things to purchase (the same as in Bangkok) but there are probably a few items which are more indigenious to the northern area.
There are also some open areas where food and drinks are served. Some fair type of games are also held, though not many.
Traditional dances are also shown for free to the public.
It was the end of November 2012 and I was quite surprised that it was not crowded. Maybe it was a weekday and not yet the peak season. However at the end of the night, the road was still rather busy.
Anyhow, a visit to night market is always fun and no matter how, you will end of buying things and also enjoy the price haggling.
Until the next time, cheers.
