There are many night markets at Chiangmai, especially on weekend. They are the two more famous or rather tourist attraction places called - Saturday Night Market and Sunday Night Market. It is like Chatuchak in Bangkok, only that it open from about 4pm onwards.
& I noticed that more of their shopping areas are night markets, and really open only at night. Meaning you will have nothing much to shop around during the day, so more for you to go for sight-seeing etc.
Let's see how buzzing the Saturday night market are.......

| Looking at how they work together - so cute. Father & son. |
 |
| OOPS! I dint mean it. But they are slippers.. CUTE RIGHT! |
 |
| This is how they do the body paint. And within 5 mins, done! |
 |
| There are small alleys in between the main streets too. |
 |
| Beauty playing violin. There are many street performers along the way too. P/S: The kid is not with her, just standing beside her to take photo. |
 |
| Yes, dogs are one of the them - street performers. You can take photo of them without paying. But if you want them to perform, will need a bit of money. Like the one on the left, driving a car - it moves around. BUT of cos, the owner is using remote control for it. |
 |
| They have a whole stretch of artist - drawing portraits. Can give it a try if you are interested. They have comical drawings too. |
 |
| It also happens that 'Lantern festival' (Loy Krathong (ลอยกระทง) falls on 17 Nov 2013, and they are preparing for it now. These lanterns I guess are for kids, so cute right! |
 |
| This is the Monkey of God - headband. I wonder will people actually buy this..... |
The night market are more of selling handicraft items. As for clothings, not as much as compared to Bangkok. But it's a different experience too. Nice.
