Why go, and how to do it well
This is a working neighborhood shopping center in Fa Ham, and that's exactly why it's worth your time. Expats from every corner of Chiang Mai come here for the international restaurants and specialty ingredients clustered around it, with a Rimping supermarket inside for anything the fresh market doesn't cover. The produce market itself gets consistent praise for how clean it is and how patient the vendors are, and prices are the ones locals pay rather than the ones handed to visitors. Cooking class tours sometimes stop here for their market run, which tells you something.
Come Monday or Tuesday evening for the market nights, when Thai shoppers pack the place out. The night market is small, so don't arrive expecting Sunday Walking Street. Go instead for the food stalls strung along the footpath outside, and for a morning breakfast of soya bean milk and dough fritters. If you're self-catering for a week or more, this is the sort of place that quietly makes your trip easier.

Reviews from Google
This is the place most serious expatriates spend their time and money. It’s not a tourist attraction per sa, but more of an international shopping center that caters to every ethnic group that likes to call Chiang Mai, home. Europeans, North Americans, Koreans, Chinese, And Thais! Thais love the international venue here and pack the place on Monday and Tuesday market nights,. Most of this post consists of photos of the overall shopping center and interior shots of Rimping supermarket which is the anchor store of the whole center. There is really too many things to mention in one post. More to come...
We have been here for many times, this place located among international restaurants and ingredients. Don't worry about parking area there's always available. Good place and standard price.
Date of Visit: August 23rd I visited through a cooking class tour. It looked like a traditional market in Chiang Mai. Since it's used by locals, the prices are very affordable. It would be a good idea to buy some fruit here.
