Every Saturday evening, a large night market takes place in the heart of the old city, not far from Wat Phra No, on Kham Lue Road, which becomes a pedestrian zone for the occasion. This charming market, called "Kad Phra No," is an absolute must-see if you're in Phrae on a Saturday. Besides local produce and souvenirs, it primarily offers food and drinks. Enjoy your dinner and the lively, festive atmosphere, often accompanied by live music at various points along the street. Exceptionally, on this evening, Wat Phong Sunan temple, located near the official entrance to the pedestrian zone (the food stalls begin right in front of the temple), is open until late and is beautifully illuminated. I recommend visiting the temple before sunset. It's simply magnificent!

The Saturday pedestrian zone (or Kad Phra No) usually starts around 5 pm and lasts until about 10 pm. It is particularly busy at sunset. This night market takes place exclusively on Saturday evenings.

This weekly night market takes place on a street in the area where I recommend my accommodation in Phrae. If you follow this advice, you can easily reach the market on foot.
