Chiang Mai Markets

Fresh vegetables on sale in Wororot Market.

 
Chiang Mai is a town of many markets. As the provincial capital, as well as the largest city in the north, it is the main commercial center of the region. The most interesting markets are the many fresh and food markets.

If you head north of Tapae Road along the river, you'll come to the flower market, where you'll find roses, orchids and many other cut flowers on sale. Next to the flower market is Wororot Market, one of Chiang Mai's largest markets. This rabbit warren is an easy place to get lost in, but that can be quite pleasurable.

Pickled fruits and spices at the Anusarn Night Market.

Not far from the night bazaar along Chang Klan Road is the entrance to the Anusarn Night Market. The market is popular with Thais who flock there to purchase fried pork rinds and the extremely hot green chili dip called nam prik awn. There are lots of giant food stalls as well, making the market a great place to have dinner.

Other notable markets include Sompet Market on Moonmuang Road north of Tapae Gate, a smaller fresh market. There's also a large market on Maneenoparat Road where it meets Chang Puak Road.
