Being Thailand’s main handicraft centre, Chiang Mai is one of the few places where you can visit a factory or artisan’s workshop, watch crafts people at work before buying, or even try your hand at craft making yourself. That said, rather than trendy shopping malls, Chiang Mai’s shopping scene is more about open-air crafts markets, stand-alone boutique shops and gallery-style stores offering unique handmade goods.

Chiang Mai Walking Street Ratchadamneon Road on Sundays only

Street shopping is all about immersing yourself in the local culture, and there’s no better place to experience it than at the Weekend Walking Streets. Here, the essence of Chiang Mai comes to life in a vibrant spectrum of art, crafts, music and food – with mostly handmade quality than mass-produced goods. Stroll down the jam-packed streets and experience a wealth of traditional and modern Chiang Mai culture in one visit. Read More...

Chiang Mai Night Bazaar Intersection of Tha Pae and Chang Klang Roads Best time to go: After 19:00

The Night Bazaar consists of street-side stalls selling mostly clothing and handicrafts, and a host of shopping plazas where you can find more unique crafts and jewellery. A good way to check out the whole area is to start at Tha Phae Road and work your way south towards Loi Khro. Once you reach the end of the market, cross the street and work your way back along the other side. Read More...

Wualai Walking Street Wualai Road, near the South moat of the old town on Saturdays only

Wualai, the Saturday walking street, is a lively and fun night market that takes place in Chiang Mai just a short walk from the old city walls. It starts in the late afternoon and continues until around 22:30. We prefer the atmosphere here to the more famous Sunday night walking street, because even though it’s smaller, there aren’t the same crowds of people, so it makes for a much more leisurely stroll.

Bor Sang Village Nine kilometres from the Old City, on Chiang Mai-San Kampaeng Highway (Route 1006)

Bor Sang mid-sized craft village about nine kilometres east of the Old City specialises in the paper umbrella-making craft. Well known for outstanding handcraft quality as well as signature floral designs, Bor Sang Village has made its name throughout the country and abroad – so much so that the name Bor Sang has become synonymous with the paper-umbrella craft itself and the umbrella, a cultural symbol of Chiang Mai.

Riverside Boutique Shops Charoenrat Rd. (between Charoen Muang and Kaew Nawarat)

Across the River Ping, a short section of Charoenrat Road makes for a pleasant stroll. A collection of renovated wooden shop-houses that line its short stretch specialise in Lanna art and crafts, mostly from high-end local brands. The shops themselves are architectural treasures, built more than a century ago. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, this area is well worth a visit just for its historical value and scenic riverside panoramas.

Ginger & The House Shop Moonmuang Rd.

Shopping can be lots of fun, but nowhere is it more cheery than at The House, where Thai brand Ginger display their colourful range of kitchen-ware, Thai-inspired furniture and clothing. Anyone who loves to shop will have a field-day here, with so many eye-catching items on display. The House is a beautifully renovated home that makes the perfect backdrop for the bright cushions and funky clothing on display. Set up in 2002 in Chiang Mai it is a daring fusion of Danish and Asian design. Read More...

Sankampaeng Craft Street 13km east of the city centre

While Ban Tawai is the destination for woodcarving and furniture, San Kamphaeng is the place to go for Thai silk. Rounding out the selection of products are lacquerware, ceramics and the brightly coloured umbrellas that are a northern specialty. Shops and mini factories line both sides of the Chiang Mai-San Kamphaeng Road, where local artists practice their craft with a skill born of centuries-old tradition. Read More...

Central Plaza Chiangmai Airport Mahidol Road

Central Airport Plaza Chiang Mai is the place to go for international brands and is also a good stop off point for last-minute souvenirs. Located within walking distance of the airport, there are five floors of shops and restaurants as well as an international supermarket and a cinema here. Open during the week from 10:30 until 21:00 and weekends and holidays from 10:00 until 21:30. Read More...

Warorot Market Chang Moi Road, close to the River Ping, north of Chiang Mai Night Bazaar

Warorot Market (or Kad Luang) is a must-visit for food lovers as it offers a wide range of ready-to-eat meals, local snacks and all kinds of fresh produce. A large section of the market features inexpensive goods, such as clothing, fashion accessories and personal care products. Targeting mostly Thais, Warorot Market is a great place to get a feel for the local way of life. Read More...

OP Place Thippatana Arcade, 108 Chang Klan Rd.

If you are looking for one stop shop for quality handicrafts and local products in Chiang Mai, then we recommend a browse of the stalls and shops in OP Place just a few steps from the bustling night bazaar. This large airy shopping mall has made local artisans its focus, and we had a great time rummaging through the collection. Read More...
