Changkangju Night Market is the only one in Chiang Mai that opens every day. It opens to the latest night market street. If you want to eat late at night, you can only come here, because many stores 5-6 stores are off work, and the lively ones are about 9-10. I also get off work. After 10 o'clock, there is only Changkang Road Night Market that may be open ～ and this is the night market next to the market + food court. There are people playing guitar and singing in the square where they eat. There is also a Muay Thai competition venue next to the food court. Very hot, I never dared to enter anyway, I admit it. On the night market, there are everything to sell, eat and drink, clothes, bags of shoes, accessories, crafts... The price is moderate, but you can still bargain, bargain at will, but the boss said that it is not sold, that is really not sold. Thai people are still more real. I like to buy clothes in that market the most. The quality is OK. The style is also more. In Chiang Mai, the best way to travel to the night market is to take a motorcycle. Hahahaha, it is fast and save, and it is too late to grab a taxi.

On weekend mornings, you can go to the Chiang Mai Coconut Market.
This market has been open for about two years. You can buy a lot of northern Thai snacks and find a comfortable seat to sit down. There is a huge green coconut forest around. The whole atmosphere is really comfortable.

Highlights: The Coconut Grove Market in Thailand is located in Chiang Mai, in a beautiful coconut grove. The most eye-catching thing in the market is the large area of tall and straight coconut trees, with dense leaves intertwined together to form a natural green canopy. There are ditches between the trees, and green duckweed grows in the ditches. Visitors can cross the food area through bamboo bridges. In addition, there is a small sheep pen here. Visitors can spend money to buy milk bottles to feed sheep and enjoy the fun of close interaction with small animals. The stalls in the Coconut Grove Market are mainly arranged around the coconut grove, selling various goods. There are many exquisite handicrafts in the handicraft area, such as hand-dyed cotton cloth, coconut shell jewelry plates, Thai food refrigerator magnets, etc., as well as original handmade clothing, hats and accessories, etc., with relatively affordable prices. There will also be live performances by local musicians in the weekend market. It is very pleasant to listen to music, taste food and feel the breeze under the coconut trees. Visitors can also bring picnic mats and enjoy the fun of picnicking in the coconut grove.
