Warorot Market

Located along the Ping River, Chiang Mai’s largest daily market was built in 1910 by a member of the Lanna royal family. Inside, the market is divided into three levels with each floor for different goods: first for food and highland preserved fruits, second for clothing and textiles and at the top, wooden carvings and other artifacts. The most famous souvenirs here are northern foods, like kaeb mu (crispy pig skin), mu yo (traditional Thai pork sausage), and nam phrik num (traditional northern style green chilly paste). Outside on Praisani Road, hill tribe people sell authentic tribal handicrafts plus tropical fresh fruits and flowers from the highlands.
