We went early and caught the market during sunset on a perfect sultry evening. Lots of great street food, ancient ice cream, temples, local artisans, monks, musicians lining the centre of the street, food and shopping lining each side... and it goes on and on for kilometers! We stopped at what is normally a car dealership during the day. During... More

I had no idea how amazing this market was until I got there. Not only was it huge, it was bustling with activity. Street performers at every corner makes the ambiance of this market superb. I lied the fact that you could buy handmade crafts from locals, which were all made at a high quality. We got there about 5pm... More

My wife loved it, I just wanned to get out from there! Maybe later is better to go this market, but between 19h and 21h, it was almost impossible to walk there, too many people, and the asian are famous about take place in front of others in lines and markets, so you can imagine how stressing it was for...

Everything that has been said here is true about the Sunday Night Market - it is awesome. Go early, enter from South, and miss some of the crowds. The market starts being set up around 5.00pm and it is worth getting there at 6.00pm. By the time it gets to 8.00pm onwards it is very crowded. Unless you have to,... More

It was the "night bazaar" I looked forward to since it was only opened on Sunday nights. I spent hours foraging through every possible street and just couldn't stop gorging myself with street food despite being on a strict diet. An awesome sight when I climbed up the fortress at Thapae Gate and looked down! More

We started our journey into the Sunday Market from Thapae Gate. There was a crowd already even at about 5 plus pm. Lots of clothing and costume jewelry and accessories for sale. Plenty of food and drinks too. There are also several sit down cafes for you to take a break from the walking. This is unlike the Night Bazaar... More

I've been to a couple of night markets in my life, but this one definitely moves to the top of the list! Talk about an endless variety of items to purchase and food to tantalize your tastebuds. Plus, the cost of the goods and food is ridiculous! I had one of the most memorable desserts I've ever had in my... More

We went twice to the sunday evening market in Chiang Mai. First in october when the wet season was just over. At this time it was not busy at all. 3 weeks later high season kicked in and it was packed with people. It is one of the best places to eat all kinds stuff at the nice food stalls.... More
