About Chiang Rai Night Bazaar
An open-air market that runs every night beside the old bus station, with food courts, handicraft stalls, and cultural stage shows. It's a reliable, easy evening out, and being central it's walkable from most hotels.
It's touristy, no getting around that, and noticeably smaller than Chiang Mai's famous night bazaar. But the food courts are decent and there's usually live music, so it does the job for a relaxed dinner and a browse.
Come in the evening, settle in for the food and the stage shows, and give it an hour or two. Don't build the night around it, just enjoy it for what it is.
Highlights
- Open every night in the city centre

Tips
- Come in the evening for the food and live music
