Family trip to the Saturday night market. Great to see the market buzzing. Grab your food at the top of the street at the multitude of stalls before heading into the market itself. Not as many food offerings as I had hoped for, but cheap and very tastey. Market stalls are okay.

Great market just outside the south of old Town area.
Loads of vendors selling clothing and goodies.
Amazing food stalls once again!
Many foot massage beds on the roads for all the walking 😁
A great way to spend the evening in chiang mai if you have kids or if you not into the bar scene

Surprising at the time of writing that this market was actually more impressive than the Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai, mostly due to the impacts of Covid unfortunately. But, this one street market has held up particularly well along with the sunday night market. Plenty o eat and browse along with good bargains to hunt and the odd bit of live music here and there.

This is a night market that happens every Saturday night. We arrived at 4:50 and shops were still opening up. It’s one long street full of tiny pop up shops. They sell clothes, souvenirs, and lots of food! It’s a nice place to get everything you need all in one place. Just fair warning it gets super crowded quick, so wear comfortable shoes and something cool. Food is amazing! Must try the Thai sausage right when you enter the market and the Thai mini pancakes. You won’t regret it.

We loved this market. However I do understand why some people felt overwhelmed. It is enormous and there is definitely repetition of goods on sale. However as our first market in Chiang Mai we saw different goods to what we have seen elsewhere and found a lot of it was handmade and quite lovely. Definitely some of the usual cheap tourist tatt but not the majority.
We loved the side food court with low plastic tables and stools, great range of food and amazing atmosphere.
Of note, we arrived shortly after 5 and the crowds were minimal then, not too hot and we could happily browse stalls with no difficulty. By the time we left a bit after 7 it was absolutely packed, and we were glad to be leaving. And this was in the off season! So we found it worth visiting but would only go early before the crowds arrive.

We got told about this by the reception staff at our resort (Na Narind) and they talked about how this was a great street market with lots to do and see and buy. Well, once through the Covid Checkpoint, we walked down the street and we got the end rather quickly due to the lack of stalls and stall holders. We looked as a few things but not really that much to buy but it was worth a look. We could see this picking up again once the Tourists start back into the location and it will change. Maybe give it a few months and it will be flourishing once again. Like the old pictures from TripAdvisor and Google maps.

The Saturday night market takes place opposite the Chiang Mai Gate. It offers a wide range of handcrafts, souvenirs, woodwork, essence oils and a large variety of foods, fruits and drinks. You can have a foot massage here too. It’s also a must visit while in Chiang Mai.

Its a memorable experience, the street in front of Wat Chedi luang is suddenly converted to a beautiful market by evening, all kind of foods, the best place to find variety of local thai dishes, lot of suvenier shops and lots of people. It may get bit busy by night, it is organized well, clean and enjoyable. If you are in Chiangmai on a Saturday, defeitely worth a visit

We heard great things about the Saturday Walking market in the old walled site. We actually were told the Saturday Market is much better then the Sunday market. We arrived around 4:30pm and it was already in a good swing of things.
There were some great deals and so many different things to choose from. Great place for souvenirs and to get something different. Lots of local artists selling personal art. Also lots of stalls that all have the same thing you see throughout all of Thailand. Tons of yummy street food. It was very busy with local and tourist shoppers. The locals were all very friendly and happy to talk. Great place to partake or just people watch!
It was also easy to get side track and get a massage or see one of the old sites in the walled City!
We were there for about 2 hours and didn't come close to seeing the whole market!

This was such a fun place to go! One could spend hours there. You can find all kinds of souvenirs from silk scarves to T-shirts, street food, musicians, and more. It can be rather crowded, but I found that was part of the fun. Be sure to bargain!

Depending which part of the walking street you start at, it is about 10 - 15 min walk apart (1 km or so). There were similar vendors at both markets but not exactly the same when I visited both.

The markets are very crowded, but wide enough to maneuver a wheelchair.
Is there easy parking for cars at the Saturday night bazaar?

There are hotels all over this fairly small city, so it won't be a problem. Also transportation is easy and inexpensive. Choose an area and choose a price range and you'll be fine.

Gaan de zaterdag en zondag markt door op 31/12/16 en 1/1/17? Dit omdat ik dan in Chiang Mai ben en het tof zou vinden om deze 2 te bezoeken.
Thx!
