The night bazaar is similar to many other street markets throughout asia. This one seemed more oriented towards tourists than some of the other markets in Chiang Mai. The selling is not that aggressive, the initial prices are ridiculous. Bargaining is a MUST. The average T shirt should cost you about 110-125 bhat, (5/09) the cheapest that I saw was... more

We took 1 tuk tuk for 5 of us which was an experience in itself. He dropped us off right near all the food stuff which was great. We found a little restaurant just past KFC, wish I took note of the name as it was cheap, clean and friendly. Our advise is make sure you eat before you shop.... more

We loved the night market in Chiang Mai, more so then the night markets in Bangkok. Our hotel (Royal Princess) was right in the middle of it. The square where all food places were was brilliant. We spent a lot of time relaxing there listening to the live music with a few drinks. My partner had a couple of massages... more

I was expecting a totally chaotic night market like some of the ones in Bangkok, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Chiang Mai Night Bazaar was surprisingly organized. It's supposed to start around 6pm, but some stalls were set up by 5pm and some stalls were still setting up at 7:30pm. Goes until about 11:30pm. All sorts of neat finds... more

This is a typical tourist haunt, in which poor quality goods - principally clothing and souvenirs - are touted to willing tourists. It is typical of other night markets, notably those in Bangkok, and gives visitors little idea of what this wonderful city has to offer. Visiting the nearby Worarot Market - principally operating during the day, but some stalls... more

Oct 2008 - The oil painting artists are not set up at the entrance to the basement of the Night Bazaar with the other artists. You can find them about 1 row from the rear of the Night Bazaar. Just walk straight to the back. Don't go too early as they don't set up until 3:30 or 4 P.M. There... more

In order to truly experience Thailand, or Chiang Mai in particular, travelers need to check out a shopping bazaar. In Chiang Mai, the night bazaar is the most popular. Haggle all you want, and make sure you don't accept their first or second offer. Pretend to leave if they are not willing to bring down their prices, since a lot... more

This was located just outside the moat which surrounds the centre of Chiang Mai. It consists of street side stalls which occupy both sides of the main road and markets inside and underneath buildings. The Night Baxaar started at 6pm and reamained open till the early hours. There are soo many stalls and places to eat. This is where you... more

We were in Chiang Mai for 3 nights and went there every night. If your hotel isn't near the Night Bazaar, don't worry as there are a lot of tuk tuks waiting around the streets. This was the best shopping experience in my opinion of all of Thailand. I thought it was better than the Chatuchak Weekend Market and Patpong... more
