Chiang Rai walking street market
If your calendar doesn’t permit a visit to either of Chiang Mai’s Saturday or Sunday walking street markets never fear: Chiang Rai also has a couple of good ones. In content they are very similar: clothing, hill-tribe chic, the ubiquitous carved soap and candles, plenty of food and drink stalls and general bric-a-brac although even if you have visited the larger, big city ones, provincial Chiang Rai’s versions are less hectic and crowded, with a more relaxed atmosphere and well worth taking in as well.
