Visitor Reviews

This market is absolutely massive, a sprawling maze of local arts, crafts, and designers that’ll make your heart happy and your wallet sweat just a little. The vibe is fantastic; it’s basically the creative soul of the city in market form. Honestly, one day isn’t enough. We barely scratched the surface, so we’re already planning our "Round 2" in a few days. I managed to snag some beautifully crafted leather wallets that look like high-end boutique finds. If you get "market fatigue," head way to the back for a staggering array of food options and coffee trucks. It’s the perfect spot to sit, chill, and caffeine-up for more browsing. Do yourself a favor and come. You definitely won’t regret it! Edit: you must try the Neapolitan pizzas run by Knot and Im where the main food court is. The dough is both airy and flovourful with a lovely under carriage. Fantastic pizzas for the price

Visiting this artisanal market was a delightful experience. The variety on offer is impressive, with thoughtfully curated stalls featuring stylish clothing, handmade pottery, beautifully crafted bags, hats, sunglasses, and much more. Each item feels unique, reflecting the creativity and skill of the artisans behind them. Overall, this artisanal market is a must-visit for anyone looking for distinctive, well-made items and a chance to support local creators. Whether you’re searching for a special gift or something unique for yourself, you’re very likely to find something that stands out. And the food market is not to be missed. And the Cacao Trailer, where the lady was making fresh cacao. I had a hot one, and it tasted amazing!

Jing Jai Market is hands-down my favorite weekend spot in Chiang Mai! 🌿 The handcrafted selection here is incredible—way higher quality than the typical night markets. You’ll find beautiful linen clothes, unique art and handmade jewelry directly from the artists. The food is just as good; everything feels fresh, organic, and authentic. Don't miss the Northern Thai snacks and the communal seating under the trees. Plus, if you're a coffee lover, there are some fantastic local roasters and specialty cafes right on-site. It’s clean, and eco-friendly (no plastic bags!).

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.
