Tha Phae Walking Street

Tha Phae Walking Street is Chiang Mai’s Sunday market that starts at Tha Phae Gate and runs along Ratchadamnoen Road through the Old City, 5pm–10:30pm. Free entry. Expect Northern crafts done right: handwoven textiles, silver, saa-paper lanterns, woodcarving. Street snacks run 20–60 THB; khao soi 50–70 THB; quick foot massages 100–150 THB for 15–30 minutes. Go early (5–6:30pm) or after 9pm to breathe. The liveliest stretch is near Wat Chedi Luang with buskers and student artists. Bring small bills; most sellers are cash-first, some take QR. Bargain lightly—prices are fair. More artisan-forward than the Night Bazaar. Last checked Mar 2026.
