In the evening hours the central area of the city of Chiang Mai comes to vibrant life with its enticing Night Bazaar. This immense marketplace in addition to offering a bewildering array of merchandise, also offers bars, restaurants and entertainment options. Chiang Mai is recognized as a prominent tourist destination and many of the visitors who arrive from all corners of the globe make it a point to visit the captivating Night Market.
As you might expect you will find an extraordinary number of stalls and kiosks here, including those within the arcades as well as many others seemingly jostling for room on the pavements. At this engrossing Night Bazaar the visitor will find a bewildering array of merchandise such as all kinds of clothing – including T-shirts and other casual wear as well as custom-made suits – antiques, artworks, handicrafts, silks, jewellery, footwear, accessories, watches, DVDs and more. You will see a multitude of attractive locally made goods which are not usually found elsewhere.
You will find many attractive restaurants in the vicinity of the market, and you may choose to have your meal in an alfresco area whilst being entertained by dancers performing to traditional Thai music. Another interesting opportunity is the chance to don a typical Thai costume and have your portrait drawn. Other useful establishments here include travel agents, internet cafes, camera shops and massage parlours. Generally if you desire to purchase anything it is important to bargain in order to obtain attractive prices. Overall there is no experience quite like this night market for shopping aficionados.
