Market in Chiang Mai
Tha Pae Sunday Walking Street is similar to the Sunday walking street market in Phuket, but on a much larger scale: approximately 1 kilometre long and extending to adjacent streets. You will find various clothing, accessories, home decoration, toys, and handicrafts on each side. Just as you can expect in Thailand, food is available everywhere, with local snacks to take away or dishes to eat at one of the tables. Street performances often provide an opportunity for low-income individuals to earn a modest income.
Street foot massage is available everywhere for a small price (150 baht). It may look a bit strange at first if you’re unfamiliar with it, but it’s a great way to relax after walking up and down the street after shopping. The most surprising moment during the walking street market happens at 6 pm sharp. After a short announcement in Thai, the national anthem is played through the loudspeakers, and absolutely everyone freezes. If you haven’t witnessed this before, it’s quite a surprise, and of course, you should stop and wait too. It only lasts for one minute.
