ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
In addition to the province's largest night market, which operates on Sundays on the main street in the Old Town, Chiang Mai has another weekly Saturday market on Wua Lai Rd. It is not as big and famous as Sunday, but it is also fun and interesting here, and they also sell everything in a row, starting from consumer goods from China and ending with works of art and antiques. And there are especially a lot of exotic foods on this market, such as insects. There are also several temporary food courts, a stage is being set up for performances by local artists, simple attractions such as shooting galleries and lotteries work. The prices here are low, according to our feelings lower than in other night markets of Chiang Mai. For example, a portion of insects with seasonings costs 20 baht, and simple Thai dishes like rice with chicken cost from 50 baht. Skewers on bamboo skewers for 10 baht.
🕐 Working hours
It is open only on Saturday evenings from 16:00 to 24:00.
💵Entrance fee / ticket price

🚶 How to get there
Chiang Mai Saturday Market is located outside the fortress gate south of the center along the entire Wua Lai Street (market on the map). It is completely closed to traffic at this time, it becomes pedestrian. It's not far to walk here from the old town, and we advise you to get there that way, because huge traffic jams gather in this area during the market, all transport is in traffic jams, so walking is even faster.
Friends, we remind you that it is much more interesting to get acquainted with the sights of Thailand with the help of excursions, and therefore we advise you to look at options with online booking and reviews on these excursion aggregators:
