Review : This is just one of the Sunday markets we have in Chiang Mai. The locals called this market "tha-non-kon-dern" which translated as "walking street for human". Every Sunday of each week this street right in the city of Chiang Mai will be closed from 5 to until late. That's why this has become the human walking street.

Occurring every Sunday afternoon and going into the night this market is famous for it’s local art crafts, food, gifts, music and buskers. I love this market because it’s completely different from the daily night market otherwise known as the night bazaar. In Thai it’s called Tha-non-kon-dern (literally translated as “the road that people walk”) it’s relaxed friendly and the shop keepers are so nice and down to earth as most of them are will be students or locals that do this market for their part time job.

There’s no pushy sales people here, you don't have to worry much about bargaining everything down to the ground because locals and foreigners are getting the same price. Most stores will even have their price up on the tables. I hate seeing foreigners get ripped off and that's why I can thoroughly recommend this market. I love the atmosphere, the night time lights, the food, some juggling, dancing and just the fun of it. Anyway if you like markets this one is a must!!!

Opening hours : between 5:00pm-11:00pm every Sunday

Location :  Thapea gate, city Centre Chiang Mai

How to get there : If you have a car you can drive there. But I recommend you to get a Tuktuk or a taxi as it is very hard to find a park. Also these people will know exactly where Tha-non-kon-dern is.
