Lanna Square

Lanna Square is a bustling night market food court on Ratvithi Road, within easy walking distance of Chiang Mai's Old City. Set in a nightlife-friendly area, it draws a mix of locals and travellers with its wide variety of food stalls, live music, and relaxed open-air atmosphere. The market stands out for its notably strong selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes — a relative rarity among Chiang Mai's night markets — alongside mainstream Thai favourites and fresh fruit smoothies. Visitors consistently highlight the cleanliness and presentation of the stalls compared to other markets in the city, as well as the variety of cuisines on offer. Standout items mentioned by regulars include mango smoothies, sticky rice, and pad see ew. The food is generally considered good value, and the communal setting makes it a comfortable choice for solo travellers and groups alike. Live music adds to the atmosphere, giving it more of an evening entertainment feel than a straightforward food stop. Good to know: Lanna Square is best experienced after 7pm, when the market is in full swing and the atmosphere comes alive. Those with specific dietary requirements — particularly vegans and vegetarians — will find more options here than at many comparable markets in the city. As stall availability can vary, arriving with an open mind about what is on offer that evening is advisable. The Ratvithi Road location is accessible by tuk-tuk or on foot from most central Chiang Mai accommodation.
