The 10 Best Markets in Chiang Rai, Ranked
This lot splits three ways: night markets you eat your way through, working wet markets that peak at dawn or mid afternoon, and a couple of big hardware barns on Phahon Yothin that snuck in under the shopping banner. The Night Bazaar tops it on sheer weight of reviews, though the Saturday Walking Street scores higher with locals and visitors alike. Ranked by Google rating, with review numbers breaking the ties.
