Anusarn Night Market
Tucked behind the Night Bazaar, Anusarn is Chiang Mai's liveliest authentic night food destination. Over 50 stalls serve legendary Northern Thai dishes — Khao Soi, Sai Oua herb sausage, Nam Prik Ong, and grilled meats — alongside Thai classical dance and sword fighting performances at the centre stage every evening.
Night Bazaar
Stretching along Chang Klan Road, Chiang Mai's famous Night Bazaar has operated for over 100 years on what was once a rest stop of the ancient Yunnan–Malay Peninsula trade route. Hundreds of stalls sell handmade hill tribe crafts, silk goods, lacquerware, silver jewellery, and clothing. The ground-floor food court stays busy until midnight.
Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant
The Chiang Mai branch of Thailand's most famous social enterprise restaurant, run by the Population & Community Development Association (PDA). The eclectic menu spans authentic Thai cuisine and international dishes with all profits funding HIV/AIDS education and rural health programmes across northern Thailand. The quirky décor uses condom art throughout — thought-provoking and conversation-starting.
Tha Phae Gate
The eastern gateway of Chiang Mai's ancient moat city dates to the 13th century. Rebuilt in 1987, Tha Phae Gate is the most photographed landmark in Chiang Mai and the starting point of the legendary Sunday Walking Street. The surrounding moat, corner bastions, and ancient red-brick walls are best appreciated at sunrise or dusk.
