Night Market Bustle
Night Market Bustle

The first post concerning Chiang Mai is about the night market. I arrived Sunday afternoon, found a gusthouse to stay at, and rapidly found that all the nearby roads were being closed to vehicles; I soon found this to be due to the large number of people setting up shop and the increasingly larger number of people walking through the streets. The night market was about to begin so I went and got my camera...
I thought the most visually appealing aspect of the market was the many lights being sold
Other than the lights, it was fairly normal for a market like that in Thailand with various nicknacks being sold and, as there was such an incredibly high percentage of the night market visitors being foreigners, probably a bit more souvenirs than normal.
