dcnx Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Did they not have it tonight because of the pollution or the election? Had friends come into town yesterday (against my advice) and they were first appalled by the air so we went and got them masks today so they could go to the night market they’ve been so excited to see, and to my surprise it’s not there. It’s always been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s so strange because the bars are all back open today. Yesterday (most) of the bars were closed. There are always a few with the doors mostly closed and the music off. Also not sure what a night time market that’s made for tourists has to do with an election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lipflipper Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I guess that debacle called the Sunday Night Market must be on all people's bucket list when they visit Chiang Mai. I went there one time with visitors and said never again. A narrow street with stands/stalls lining both sides, about ten feet max for people to walk up and down. The merchandise is the same you will find at the much less crowed Anusarn Market everynight and the less crowded Saturday Night Market. When you also add in the screaming hordes of Chinese it's a no brainer to avoid it at all costs.

Sent from my CMR-AL19 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app You must have gone to the wrong place , the main street is about a kilometer long and theres numerous streets running off it , all selling different merchandise and its about twice the size of the Saturday market and its about ten times the size of Anusan market . It does get busy at peak times , the trick is to go early or late , 5 or 9 PM , when it isnt so crowded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
