Shopping in Chiang Mai is a gala affair. A backpackers’ haven, this city is just the place for bargain hunters with an eye for deals! Hit one of these city markets if you are scouring for Thai handicrafts, souvenirs, hippie clothes, antiques or fresh flowers (yes, there is a market that exclusively sells flowers), or food items that can include anything from fresh eels to live frogs! Add to it the very happening night bazaars and street markets and you will come back with bags full of Chiang Mai specials. Apart from markets that offer steal deals, Chiang Mai has also seen a recent spurt in high-end retail experiences. Once you have had your fill of street shopping, do not forget to head over to one of the many malls and kitty in those fashion labels and more.
