I simply love visiting markets but Ron find that part of me a little weird. Nevertheless he'll always tag along claiming I need a bodyguard (even though that may not necessarily be true). I can sometimes see the tortured look on his face whenever we walked through the stinking section selling fish, salted fish and other pungent foodstuff. For that I really appreciate the sacrifice he puts in. During this short trip to Chiang Mai, I visited The Sunday Night Market, Anusarn Market and Wororot Market. If I'd spent more days in Chiang Mai I think I would probably cover 'all' the markets in Chiang Mai.
Wororot Market or Kad Luang as it is locally called is the main market in Chiang Mai. I didn't have any particular thing in mind to buy but if I could get roasted lotus seeds to bring home I'd be more than happy. Let's take a virtual walk to see some of the things in Wororot.
I walked a few rounds but could not find the lotus seed snacks that I mentioned.
The flower section marks the edge of Wororot Market.
The flower section faces the Ping River. There are many more things available and sold here but are not shown in this post.
