Find the sign saying Pa’s Smoothies, which is located directly across from the 7-Eleven, do yourself a favor and order a smoothie from Mrs Pa. Her stand. Have her mix up a concoction of her devising and then, you will never go wrong! As there are fewer vendors on Saturday and Sunday evening, it is best to go on weeknights though the market is held seven nights a week.

Fear not if you have no idea about where to get your street grub on during the weekend. In Chiang Mai, you can find a market for every occasion. For eating and shopping lovers, the Sunday Walking Street is a must-visit place, however, if you are not one for crowds, make sure to go early! Rachadamnoen Road, where you can find vendors selling local handicrafts, handcrafted lamps, jewelry, clothes, dolls, soaps, Christmas ornaments and just about every other keepsake you have imagined, is the main market thoroughfare. Right after reaching the end of the first block of Rachadamnoen, you can find yourself flanked by two beautiful temples. Their courtyards are filled with stunning food stalls offering an awesome mix of samosas, fried bananas, pad Thai and dumplings, Japanese curry and sushi for 15 cents per piece. Leave yourself several hours to wander, shop, and eat at the market, which stretches the length of the road if you are really interested in doing any shopping at all. Also when it comes to browsing, the throngs can make it slow going, thus, make sure to have your patience readily available! Myanmar travel tours
