Wua Lai Walking Street

Very nice night market. All you want for shopping, eating and slow life. Not too busy and spacious walking path - excellent to fill one evening on low speed and enjoyment. And last but not least, the sellers are not aggressively pushing their merchandise and instead genuinely friendly. Great for families too

A must visit in Chiang Mai. Multiple food stalls selling amazing food. Tables and chairs in the middle of the market. A real buzz and great atmosphere. Try as many foods as you can!

Be sure to check whether the market is on before you go so you don’t end up disappointed.

This is a large walking street that only operates on Saturdays from 5pm to 11pm roughly.

So if you can't make it to the larger Sunday Night Market in the Old City , this is the closest in size to visit nearby.

From trinckets to clothes to food and souvenirs , you can find everything here.

What's nearby :
Do look out for Wat Sri Suphan ((Silver Temple) that's at the end of this walking street. Map location to the temple below :

This Saturday night market was the highlight of my Chiang Mai trip - a big variety of street food and I ate so much! There was also plenty of handicraft stores with handmade crochet pieces and I got one beautiful crochet bag to bring home!! Love the vibes even though it was quite crowded. 👍

Overall the market is amazing but the highlight was a grilled pork ribs stall.

We waited in line for 1 hr or more because of the long lineup but it was 100% worth it. The stall only gives two options, large or small. They give it to you in a styrofoam container on a banana leaf and you can eat right away or take away. It comes with a side sauce as well but the ribs are so flavourful I didn’t even need the sauce. It was freshly cooked, you can see how they do it, and the taste is amazing.

Highly recommended if you come to this market.

I visited on a Saturday night, has a lot of stalls varying from Food, clothing, and tourist tat. The overall market spills over to neighboring streets and has large food courts. Remember to haggle, it’s all part of the fun.

Wow now this is the night market I have been looking for all trip. Amazing atmosphere, Unique stuff made here and not sad China stuff. Even live music at the food place. Happy I made it here on Sat night

We love this Saturday market. For us, we prefer the Saturday market than the Sunday market. It is smaller and more comfortable.

What an experience!!!! We had the luxury of having a guide but you can do this on your own. If you are adventurous try everything. If you are reserved try anything noodle. If you have a guide they know best and usually know all the vendors. Point being it's really hard to go wrong especially if there is a line at a particular vendor.

So many stalls. Loads of food options and lovely clothes and gifts. Aimed at tourists but prices reasonable. Lots of vegetarian options too and clearly labelled in English.

The market is intimate, offering plenty of delicious food. The prices are very low, some of the lowest we've seen in Thailand. It's not too crowded, and there's a 7-Eleven nearby where you can buy cold drinks.

weekend street market has many many variety of hand craft & souvenir. Local food, snacks, noodles , drinks. Local tribe handcraft of scarf, begs, hair accessories as well as decorative items all in 1 street
total 1.5 to 2 km as there are 2 sublot where there is food stall with sit down tables & paid toilets

Chaos in the best possible way with something for everyone - food, crafts, clothes. We bought a few souvenirs here and heard 4 separate bands and singles busking as hundreds of people squeezed their way past. Crazy fun and should be done while in Chiang Mai!

Fantastic night market many types of food and very testy. Night life is very busy people over every where, tourist from whole world are there and look very happy.

If you have to choose for some reason between the Sunday Market and the Saturday Market, I'd absolutely suggest the Saturday market.

It is extremely well organized. There's a general straight path you can take from one end to another with various food courts along the way.

Smoking and drinking is not allowed, so the atmosphere is nice.

There are a lot of unique stalls here with different items. For sure you'll see a few repeats here and there but mostly it's occupied by sellers selling unique items.

There are a lot of food stalls as well so you can try various different foods. Overall a great experience.

Full of food and stuff to buy. You will not be able to finish shopping here in one night. It's that big!

I went to both Saturday and Sunday night market to give a fair review. Saturday market is organized, comfortable for a stroll in the market to look for great food or sourveniors to buy. The size might be smaller than Sunday market but you will find many items to buy here at an affordable price. This market is less packed than Sunday and comes with many unique stalls as well. After been to both markets, if you only choose to come to 1 of the market, this is the one to go.

The night market on Saturday evening is very busy and so interesting. Delicious Thai food items and lots of vendors selling all kinds of various items.

I enjoyed the Saturday market as I can see more local entrepreneurs who manufactured their own clothing, enjoy some street food, and just wanting blocks of night market.

Very nice place to walk at night. Enjoyed the sights and smells and the variety of items to purchase.
