Greenheart (JJ Market Chiang Mai)

4.4(96 reviews)

Nestled within the larger JJ Market complex in Chiang Mai's Chang Phueak area, Greenheart offers a calm, browsable open-air shopping experience with a clear emphasis on locally made handicrafts, creative design products, and health-conscious items. It draws a mix of tourists and locals and has developed a reputation as a more relaxed alternative to Chiang Mai's busier commercial markets. Visitors can expect a pleasant atmosphere suited to unhurried browsing, with stalls carrying everything from handmade soaps and bags to clothing, handicrafts, and wellness products. One dedicated shop within the complex, also operating under the Greenheart name, specialises in healthy and natural goods — including items like mosquito balm — making it worth seeking out specifically. Occasional offerings like Toksen bamboo massage add a distinctly local touch to the experience. It is worth noting that foot traffic and stall occupancy can vary considerably depending on the day, and some visitors have found quieter periods with a number of stalls closed. To maximise the experience, visiting on a weekend or during peak hours is advisable. The market opens daily from 09:30 to 19:00, giving plenty of flexibility. Those expecting the energy of Chiang Mai's larger night bazaars may find the pace here notably quieter, but for shoppers seeking a more relaxed, craft-focused outing, that can be part of the appeal.

Visitor Reviews

To clarify, Greenheart is ONE shop for healthy items. Many people are reviewing the entire JJ market on here, which is only open certain days/hours. I visited this shop and came out with mosquito balm. Worth a look for unique healthy snacks, sweets, and care products. They're very active on FB, look for Greenheart Chiang Mai

Weekend market. Visited by lots of tourists and locals alike. Sells all kinds of stuff like clothes, bags, hand made soaps, handicrafts and there’s even a Toksen massage (massage with bamboo). Prices are touristy but not excessively so. Opens only on Sunday so work it into your itinerary if you are interested.

This is a very charming open-air market, with a clear focus on local handicrafts and design products. The atmosphere is really pleasant, making it a great place to walk around calmly, browse the stalls, and enjoy the environment, which is more relaxed than the large night markets. However, you need to be prepared for the prices: I noticed that the costs, in general, are well above average, especially when compared to what you find at the more traditional fairs. Entry is free. As it is a street market, payment at most stalls is cash only.

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.
