Sirinet Market

Sirinet Market is a neighbourhood market in Rop Wiang, Mueang Chiang Rai, operating every day of the week from early morning through to late evening. It draws a mix of locals and visitors looking for fresh ingredients, affordable food, and everyday essentials in a relaxed, community-oriented setting. Food is clearly a highlight here. Visitor reviews point to a strong selection of fresh produce and ready-to-eat options, with particular mentions of mukata — a popular Thai-style barbecue and hotpot combination — available nearby. Portions are noted as satisfying, prices are consistently described as cheap, and the vendors come across as welcoming and friendly. For travellers wanting an authentic local market experience rather than a tourist-facing shopping precinct, this fits the bill. Practically speaking, the market runs from 05:30 to 23:00 daily, making it convenient for both early risers stocking up on fresh goods and those looking for an affordable dinner in the evening. Given its local character, cash is advisable as card payment may not be widely accepted. The Facebook page listed is the best place to check for any updates on vendors or seasonal changes. It is located in the San Khok Chang area of Chiang Rai, so having a map app handy is useful for finding it on arrival.
