Recreating the immersive tour of the popular JJ market led by senior sister from Thailand, revealing some real feelings.
🎫Business hours
Weekend large market (outdoor mobile stalls) 6:00-14:00, fixed storefronts also open on weekdays (8:30-21:00)
🚗Transportation strategy
Bolt taxi: about 70 baht from the hotel at the north gate of the old city, traffic control at the entrance of the weekend market
Double bar car: JJ market-old city area one-way 50 baht/person
Market culture is a microcosm of a city's culture. At JJ Market, you can find uniquely designed clothing accessories, exquisite ceramic utensils, hand-woven fabric products, and local specialty food coffee.
📌Play Tips
1, Route: We toured in a counterclockwise route, from the straw weaving shop-coffee car-central crafts-farmers market-food center
2, The market's main hand-woven cotton and linen clothing is dazzling, but compared to the night market, it wins in boutiques, and it is more pleasing to the eye. There are several independent designer brand shops that are eye-catching, with high prices, and single items are 900+ baht
3, The farmers market in the central area has a lot of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, and the prices are more expensive than the Mumbai market
4, There are many stylish coffee cars, and if you don't like coffee, you can also find iced desserts like me
5, The curry pork skewers in the food center must be bought!! Compared to the half-cooked barbecue at the night market, it's really delicious here that moved me
6, There are many beautiful woven bags, canvas bags, straw sandals, completely arousing girls' desire to shop
7, The JJ market flag is next to a hat stall on the left side of the main entrance
🍭Overall, Chiang Mai's JJ Market has a shadow of Japanese Wabi-Sabi style, clean and tidy, very suitable for taking pictures + exploring, lively and full of local cultural atmosphere, it is the most satisfying market for my trip to Chiang Mai~

Chiang Mai | The popular farmer's market J-J-Market (Sincere Market)
🚗 It is located away from the city center, on both sides of the road, bustling from morning till evening, it is the Chiang Mai Jing Jai Market.
🚗 Chiang Mai Jing Jai Market is located at No. 45, Patan Meng Street, Chiang Mai, Thailand, also known as JJ Market (Sincere Market), covering an area of 28 rai (about 70 acres), with more than 500 shops. It is designed as a community space, blending Lanna architecture and greenery. It is a project by the Central Group of Chiang Mai focused on creating shared value, aimed at establishing a thriving local community to foster a shared economy and social value. It provides a cooperative scene for local farmers, artists, and craftsmen to sell their products, while also building mutually beneficial relationships within the business and the expanded community.
🚗 Today, Jing Jai Market has become a must-visit market in Chiang Mai, allowing local businesses to earn sustainable income, while also promoting Chiang Mai products, food, and culture to attract local and international tourists. Many people describe it as a market where 'romantic scenery' coexists with 'grassroots charm'. Here, organic vegetables are sold alongside artistic performances and hand-dyed crafts; clothes are packed in kraft paper bags, and food is served on banana leaves. Everything here is very primitive, exuding the simple taste of Chiang Mai.
