Chiang Rai Night Market


Every city in Thailand has some form of a market where everyone – locals and tourists alike – can go shopping for whatever they may need.  Visiting these markets is an experience in itself, as you can see everything from a pig’s decapitated head to a range of fruits and vegetables.  On Saturday nights in some of the cities, the markets grow even bigger than usual.  Vendors come from all over the surrounding region to set up their carts, and they sell pretty much anything you can imagine.  During our weekend in Chiang Rai, we took some time to wander around the night market, taking pictures of some of the vendors and stalls that were particularly interesting to us.

From the beautiful handmade crafts to the bugs being served up to the locals, the night market in Chiang Rai is an unforgettable cultural experience.
