Saturday Walking Street

The Saturday Walking Street is a smaller version of the Sunday Walking Street and, while still a hit with tourists, more geared toward the locals. You’ll see the same street performers and some of the same stalls here as on Sunday night, but you’ll also notice different goods and more of a neighborhood feel than the sprawling Sunday market or Night Bazaar. The market is located on Wualai Road on the south side of town in an area historically known for its silver craftsmen and several silver shops will stay open late for you to pop in and take a look.

Of course, the Saturday Walking Street has plenty of food to snack on while you stroll, but if you’re looking for more of a substantial meal, try one of the food stalls selling noodles, fruit shakes and made-to-order stir-fried dishes, set up at Chiang Mai Gate at the northeastern end of the market. Grab a seat at a table close to the stall you want to eat at then go up to the stall to order. Feel free to also go get more food or drink from another place and bring it back to your table to enjoy.
