That evening I walked to the Night Bazaar, which comes alive closer to 7pm each night. Like the Saturday Market, it mostly caters to tourists. The quantity of textiles in distinctive styles by the hill tribes of northern Thailand and neighboring countries was quite impressive. Decorative pillowcases, floral purses with cross-stitch designs, wall hangings, hats, and bed covers were just a few ways the hill tribes put their skills to use. I was particularly attracted to the cross-stitch work of the Hmong.

I really like those purses in the bottom photo......
The Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai is located right in the centre of the city on Ping River. It is easily reachable if you are in Chiang Mai visit almost necessary.
The market attracts enormous crowds every evening and it is a great place to choose up jewelry and gifts. Given the market’s close nearness to the companies that produce them and the cost of local handicrafts is pleasantly not expensive here.
