Warorot Market is a true Chiang Mai institution. Located in Chinatown, it's the city's oldest and largest market. Here you'll find fresh produce (vegetables, fruits, etc.), clothing, spices, restaurants, and even a flower section. Warorot Market actually comprises two markets: Kad Luang (as many locals call it) and Talad Ton Lam Yai. Separated by a street, the two markets are housed in a three-story building constructed over a century ago. Warorot Market is not only a popular meeting place for locals but also a tourist attraction. Its labyrinth of narrow alleyways, staircases, escalators, and the fragrant blend of flowers make it a captivating place.

Open from 5 am to 11 pm, the scene changes a little when all the food stalls settle in the street that separates the two parts of the market.

Depending on the location of your accommodation in Chiang Mai, Warorot Market is easily reachable on foot. Alternatively, the R1, R2, and R3 bus lines of Chiang Mai Smart Buses stop there. Of course, you can also reach the market by red car, tuk-tuk, rental bike, or taxi.
