Chiang Mai Night Bazaar
Chiang Mai's every-night market, nearly a kilometer of stalls on Chang Khlan Road from about 17:00 to 23:00, with the Kalare food court and Anusarn Market opening off it.
Most of this list is night markets and everyday fresh-produce halls, with the walking streets taking over Wua Lai on Saturdays and Rachadamnoen on Sundays. The Night Bazaar leads, but Jing Jai is the one I'd single out for crafts and organic produce.
