Chiang Mai, our next stop, is the largest city in Northern Thailand.
It has always been a significant trading town where ancient caravan traders dealt in opium, silk and timber.
Traders still travel for miles for the popular Sunday market.
We purposely booked our accommodation in the Old City
of Chiang Mai for the Sunday walking market.
Turn right at the end of the road and you are at the beginning of the Sunday market.
They close a kilometre stretch of road.
The market has souvenirs, clothes and lots of entertainment.
Most importantly is has yummy food, Kate tried these quail eggs for 20 baht they were delicious!
The market is really busy with locals and tourists alike all bartering to get a bargain.
The never ending market, after several hours walking we were shopped out!
Thankfully amidst the chaos we managed to find a little sanctuary ;-)
