Visitor Reviews

The Best All-In-One Night Market Experience If you only have one night to explore the Night Bazaar area, head straight to Anusarn Market. It’s better organized than the street stalls and offers a fantastic mix of shopping and dining under a partially covered roof great for those unexpected rainy nights. Highlights: • The Food Court: Huge variety! You can find everything from authentic Northern Thai Khao Soi to fresh seafood. There’s also a dedicated 'Chill Square' area with plenty of seating and live music. • Shopping: It’s a souvenir paradise. You’ll find Lanna-style handicrafts, high-quality soaps, silk scarves, and the classic elephant pants. • Vibe: It feels more relaxed than the main street. The walkways are wider, making it easier to browse without being constantly bumped by the crowd.

Anusarn Market is just a short walk from the Astra condos, making it a super convenient evening spot. It has a great mix of everything- arts, handicrafts, clothes, and all the souvenirs you could want. Even though it definitely has those touristy vibes, it’s nice because it never feels too overcrowded or overwhelming like some of the other spots. The large food market there is a highlight, covering all your staple Thai favorites, so it’s easy to grab a solid meal while you're out. Honestly, I just love the vibe here; it’s a really enjoyable night market to have a slow stroll and dinner. Definitely worth a visit.

We loved walking around the market, exploring the variety of street food, local snacks, souvenirs, and small shops. The vibe is relaxed and tourist friendly, making it easy to take your time and enjoy the surroundings. It’s a great spot to try different Thai foods, watch cultural shows, and pick up some nice gifts. Convenient location and a pleasant night market experience, worth visiting while in Chiang Mai.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls

Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
