About Jing Jai Market (JJ Market)
Jing Jai is a different kind of market, leafy and design-forward, with organic produce, good coffee, brunch spots, and handmade goods rather than souvenir stalls. It's a nicer, more relaxed morning out than the busier tourist markets in town.
It's worth going for, especially if you're after a slow weekend morning rather than a crowded evening market. The organic farmers and craft stalls are the main draw on weekends, and there are permanent shops and cafes around it that run daily too.
It sits north of the Old City in the Chang Phuak area, so you'll want a Grab or songthaew to get there rather than walking.
Highlights
- Organic produce and farmers stalls on weekends
- Coffee and brunch spots worth lingering at
- Handmade goods and craft vendors
- Permanent shops and cafes open daily beyond the weekend market
Tips
- Go on a Saturday or Sunday morning for the full farmers and craft market experience
- It's a short Grab or songthaew ride north of the Old City, not walkable
- The weekend market runs early, from around 6:30am to early afternoon, so don't go expecting an evening market
- Budget an hour or two, it's a relaxed browse rather than a big shopping trip
How to get there
Grab/songthaew ~10 min from Old City, ~60-80 THB
