A nightly market for handicrafts, souvenirs and street food beside the Old Bus Terminal — open every night, not just weekends.
The Chiang Rai Night Bazaar sits right next to the Old Bus Terminal (Terminal 1), just off Phaholyothin Road in central Chiang Rai — an easy walk from the Clock Tower and Old City. Unlike the larger weekly Saturday Walking Street on Thanalai Road and the Sunday Walking Street on San Khong Noi Road, this market operates every night of the week, making it the reliable option for visitors and residents who can't time a trip around the Saturday or Sunday events.
Handicrafts & souvenirsClothing & accessoriesStreet-food stallsOccasional live performances
Expect stalls selling clothing, souvenirs and handicrafts alongside a substantial food-stall section covering Thai and northern Thai dishes, plus occasional live performances on a small stage. It runs noticeably smaller than the Saturday Walking Street, but that trade-off is exactly what makes it useful — a dependable market on any night of the week rather than a once-a-week event.
The market's Old Bus Terminal location puts it within easy walking distance of the Clock Tower and Old City centre, and it's close enough to Central Plaza that many residents combine a mall trip with a stop here on the way home.
Vendors typically set up from around 17:00–18:00 and stay open until roughly 22:00–23:00, though this varies by stall and season. BAANLYY does not operate or receive payment from this market — confirm current hours locally before visiting, especially outside peak tourist season.
