Chiang Rai Saturday Walking Street

Chiang Rai Saturday Walking Street is a weekly open-air market in Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai Province. Held every Saturday evening along San Khong Noi Road in central Chiang Rai, it stretches for about one kilometer near the city centre. The market is known for its wide selection of handmade crafts, hill-tribe textiles, souvenirs, clothing and northern Thai street food, and serves as a popular gathering place showcasing local Lanna culture and community products.

Visitors can expect a pedestrian-only street lined with hundreds of stalls on both sides selling handicrafts, clothing, accessories, hill-tribe embroidered textiles, souvenirs and local art. The central section features numerous northern Thai street food stalls, snacks and drinks, with small seating areas. The atmosphere includes background live music and occasional cultural performances. The market is set on a flat paved urban road in the city centre, surrounded by shops and residential areas, and is explored on foot.
