Sunday Market vendors at Thae Pae Gate, Chiang Mai


These vendors were setting up early for the very large market held in the streets of old Chiang Mai every Sunday evening. A large segment of the old city closes it's streets to vehicle traffic for most of the day and night on Sundays. A few hundred vendors come and set up their stalls of handicrafts, souvenirs, delicious food/snacks and everything in between. The streets get packed, back to back, but unlike the nightly Night Bazaar on the other side of town, most of the shoppers at the Sunday market are Thai. Sunday Market is a very good time!!
