Sirikorn Market

Also known as Sirikorn Market, this municipal market sits in the heart of Chiang Rai city, close to the bus station, making it a convenient stop for both locals and travellers passing through the region. It is considered the main flower market in Chiang Rai Province, with vendors offering a wide variety of blooms at reasonable prices alongside fresh fruits sourced from the surrounding highland areas. Beyond flowers and produce, the market carries a broad selection of fresh and prepared foods, giving visitors a practical snapshot of everyday local life in Chiang Rai. The atmosphere is functional rather than touristy, and the market is noted by visitors for being clean and well-maintained. Two entrances provide easy access, and the overall layout is straightforward to navigate. The market operates seven days a week, though hours vary slightly across the week — weekdays such as Tuesday and Friday open earlier at 08:00 and close at 18:00, while other days run from 09:00 to 17:30. Paid parking is available on-site at a cost of 5 to 10 baht per person, making it accessible for those arriving by vehicle. Arriving in the morning on a weekday offers the widest selection of fresh produce and flowers before stock begins to thin out later in the day.
