As we approach the high season in Thailand, the excitement is palpable, and the Chiang Mai Saturday Night Walking Street Market is no exception. This vibrant market, known for its eclectic mix of goods, street food, and live music, is a major attraction for both locals and tourists alike.
In this video, I take you on a stroll through the nightlife market, capturing the sights and sounds of this bustling hub of activity. We’ll explore the various stalls, showcasing the unique handicrafts, souvenirs, and clothing on offer. You’ll also get a glimpse of the delicious street food vendors, tempting you with their aromatic aromas and mouth-watering dishes.
As we make our way through the market, I’ll also share some insights on the current tourist scene in Chiang Mai. How busy is the market? Are there many foreign visitors? What are the trends for this year’s high season?

Ok ….. that works … u can google articles 😎
Look up Benar News and look up this headline
As Chinese buyers snap up Chiang Mai properties, Thais fear for future
Seriously????? So much for free speech?????? Vid links being instantly removed???
Aussie here. Moved permanently to Chiang Mai 6 yrs ago. Been bloody fantastic. BUT, CHIANG MAI 2024 has turned into BEIJING. Chinese EVERYWHERE. In the past 6 yrs I have NEVER seen CM as BUSY as it is now. Loi Krathong last weekend was OVER THE TOP with TOURISTS….. the traffic was like Bangkok. Normally it gets busy a week or two before Xmas/New Year but it’s 3rd week in November and it is MAXED OUT with tourists already. An ex-pat consensus is that we have seen the best of CM and it ain’t coming back. The Chinese are buying up all the Condo buildings, commercial buildings and warehouses and pushing sale and rent prices SKY HIGH, double to triple what they have always been and only selling/renting to fellow Chinese. Yep, CM has had the prawn. And you gotta ask, what’s it going to be like in 5-10 yrs time. The increased population and traffic is way OVER THE TOP NOW. Chiang Mai is DONE!!!! And observing the foreign tourists, media posers, COVERED IN TATTOOS, OBESE, with self indulgent arrogant attitudes, all a far cry from the gentility of the Thai family culture. It’s why we escaped the west years ago, and it’s now permeating CM…. turning it into ANOTHER HIPSTER TIKTOK LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME CLONE CITY OF WESTERN DEGRADATION……. Many original expats, including moi, are MOVING OUT. It’s ALREADY DONE… so yeah, in another 5 yrs it will be just another BANGKOK coffee shop tattoo shop CLONE. We LOVE (D) CM, but who wants what it is turning into?? The laid back quiet traditional Thai charm is RAPIDLY BEING DILUTED. We are thinking Siem Reap in Cambodia or Rishikesh in India ….. anywhere that’s far far away from this Chinese TIKTOK INSTAGRAM WESTERN PERVASION invasion…….
Here's a note for people looking to move to Thailand: It is a wonderful place and is what you make it. If you put yourself out there you will meet lovely people and be welcomed by the Thai's (they are very polite). The expat community is great but I did meet some people that were lonely and brought their problems from the west with them. Get out there, don't drink more than twice a week, have purpose (goals etc), budget for fun things to do (you can live so cheaply) and have an end goal after 1-2 years. I can't stress enough that you need to have goals when in such a different environment.
Cant wait to come back to my home away from home.. CM is always special❤
Hi Wayne you made me home sick already we will be there middle of December can’t wait to see
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Where In chang mai is the location of this market , please?
Good on ya mate.
Great vlog as always Wayne. Sadly markets are not my cup of tea but the wife goes into a Thai frenzy when let lose in a market. There is a big one on Koh Phangan (festival time) at the moment so the better half is in Thai heaven. shopping daily.
Hi! I was on walking street just 30 minutes before you. I was wondering if you know about Ingdoi place. Apartments/rooms near Airport Plaza?
Thank you!
Jan 9. See you in Chiang Mai
30 mins left whilst I work from home. Just clicked this vid to see us through. Ta, lad!
The night market is always well worth a visit from time to time. Looks a fun night out but soooo busy there. The powers of recovery for a city that was under water only a matter of a few weeks ago. Top video, cheers Wayne 🤩
Always love seeing nightimte strolls, due to lighting issues that means night markets or red light districts, love seeing both, thanks for showing us around mate.
nice traditional music – lets you know you know you are in Thailand – it's not The Pogues but what can you do…
Me and the missus were there a year ago. Great place.
It seems busy ? , enjoyed the early evening wander , the Saturday night market had a solid crowd , I think you are right mate – next few months could be packed – Enjoyed this one – Thanks WW ✔️👍✌️👋🙏
Wayne…I had a Spanish teacher in Sacramento, Ca. who just arrived from Mexico. "Where are the people?, he asked. So I really enjoy the night crowds in S E. Asia, and Latin America. Always lonely feeling when i return home. Anyway, time for a Loh Kroh tour, right? Maybe my girls retired by now. But I remember the mamasan who lent $50 when i hit bottom . Thanks.
.
Excellent night time vlog. I always love these. Thanks 😆👍🏼
Hey Wayne. Thanks for the tour! Do they have any public restrooms in the market areas?
Always good stuff! Glad to see it coming back. Was there in '21 @ height of covid & it was very quiet. I am glad i went, though. It was quite the experience to be there when so few foreigners were, to see that the city could adapt and move forward regardless of tourism. Thanks for what you do!
Whos about!? Our Galavanting Wayne❤💪🪖🏴🕊
That was the only true thai musicians ive seen on any video…
…and pineapple pieces. Del Monte.
good video
very nice man! I booked my ticket to Bangkok for dec 2, and will be coming up to chiang mai after a few days in bangkok. hope to run into you there!
Fantastic mate,…
Don't forget to show us the best keebab shop in town,..
Awesome stuff mate I went to a big shopping mall yesterday and their were more foreigners but I normally just use the markets near where I live so don’t see any foreign which I quite like
Hi Wayne, where is the best place to go and buy art during the day in CM? Is there a place or places? I'm coming in January. I love the art I have bought over the years in Thailand and I'm after more.
Nice market by the South Gate know it well
Nice to see this market walking street here . The one in patong Phuket is raunchy and same in Pattaya. This one is very tame . I guess people from Europe will come now but I prefer June July .
Been here for ten days and is pretty busy – off to the Sunday market tonight
Is it my imagination, or do more people have masks on these days? another great vlog-thanks
Good to see people back, I'll be back in a month myself
I know it’s not your cup of tea
Night time packed Farangs wall to wall but come on mate you loved that band a the kids band. Another Bobby dazzler 🙏

Hoping for the locals this high season is prosperous and people are not avoiding Chiang Mai due to the floods.
