About About the place

The Sunday Night Market, officially known as Tha Phae Walking Street, is a bustling open-air market that transforms a significant portion of Chiang Mai's city center every Sunday evening. Stretching from Tha Phae Gate to Wat Prah Singh, the market features a wide array of vendors selling handicrafts, clothing, art, and a diverse selection of Thai street food. Shops along the route remain open, adding to the energetic ambiance. It's a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking a taste of Chiang Mai's culture and a unique shopping experience.

Best for

The market is best suited for shoppers, foodies, and those interested in experiencing local Thai culture. It's a great destination for families, couples, and solo travelers.

Best season

The cool, dry season (November - February) offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the market.

Best time to visit

Sunday is the only day the market is open. Evening (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) is the prime time, but earlier arrival (around 5:00 PM) can avoid the biggest crowds.
