The Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is considered the largest market in the city, with more than a hundred stalls offering everything from food and souvenirs to handcrafted jewelry and clothing. It is located east of the old city and extends for about one kilometer along Chang Khlan Road, near the intersection of Tha Phae and Sridonchai streets. The market has been famous for hundreds of years thanks to its location along historic trade routes linking Myanmar, Laos, and China. In the past, this area served as a hub for caravans trading silk, wood, cigarettes, and even opium. Today, it remains a crossroads of cultures, now known for its distinctive artistry and craftsmanship that continues to attract travelers from across the region.
