in"Chiang Mai shopping guide"I have introduced the main night markets and markets. The flea market on Friday is the market that we didn’t want to encounter when we were passing by on a scooter. The location is the one we’ve visited before.Pan'an Temple".To be honest, whether it is day or night in Chiang Mai, as long as you ride a motorcycle around the ancient city, you will always encounter one or two well-known or no-name night markets or markets.Next, let’s take a look at this Friday market, which is also quite suitable for foreign tourists!
On Friday night, just after experiencing a very flavorful Thai massage, when I rode a motorcycle back to the hotel, I specifically rode through Rachadamnoen Rd where the Sunday night market is located. When I was going to survey the terrain by the way, I saw that I visited last time. The Pan’an Temple seems to be quite lively, and then I realize that there is still this market that did not know when it started!
The Chinese and English signs of the market this Friday said it was a flea market, but it was actually a misnomer, because the flea market usually refers to a place that sells second-hand goods/antiques/second-hand goods, mostly in the form of street stalls, Bangkok "Sina Karin Train Night Market"The nostalgic stall area, on the contrary, is more in line with the definition of a flea market. This Friday market may be said to be a hand-made market, but it may be more in line.
Of course, mashups have always been the style and characteristics of Thailand. People say that it is a flea market, and that is a flea market!Anyway, shopping and digging are the key points.
▼ Wat Phan Ohn: the location of Friday's flea market.
▼ The English pinyin of Pan'an Temple was Wat Phan On before, and then the spelling of Phan Ohn appeared, which was also used on the website of the official website.
▼ The three-language plaque in Thai, English and Chinese is an introduction and guidance specially prepared for tourists.
▼ QR-Code! Really?
I thought the temple was very fashionable and provided QR-Code so that visitors could link to the official website.After scanning it personally, I found that it was originally a website introducing tourist attractions in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. It mainly provides four suggested routes for walking or cycling. It provides a brief introduction to many attractions in the ancient city in English and Thai. It is simple and easy to understand. It is actually not bad, everyone. Can refer to it.

The Friday flea market in Chiang Mai’s ancient city is open during the day, and of course it has the atmosphere of a small night market at night. There are many stalls selling hand-made goods and common trinkets around the market, and there is a snack area selling food and beverages in the center.The scope and scale of the entire market is small. Compared with the weekend and Sunday market, of course it is insignificant, but because of this, the crowds will not be so crowded, and it is quite comfortable and relaxing to go shopping at night, not suitable for enjoying the excitement. , People who think that the night market must go to the weak legs.
▼ The first stall at the door allowed us to stop for a long time, selling handmade bookmarks with very diverse shapes.
▲▼ Bookmarks decorated in various shapes are very suitable for people who like to take a book to read on the trip.
▲▼ The pagoda in the temple looks quite beautiful at night under the lights of the market stalls.
▼ Can anyone confirm the correctness of this Chinese-Thai collation?
▼ The central area of the Friday market is a stall selling a variety of snacks and drinks.
▼ It really looks like a healthy drink!
▲▼ When Anya comes to Thailand, he cannot help but purchase the elephant-shaped jewelry.
▼ Thai T-Shirt materials and patterns are usually good, and there are already a lot of stocks at home.
▲▼ I don't know how the eyes of the portrait are drawn?It's really eye-catching.
▲ You can also take time to visit the temple on the side.
▲ Suddenly recalled the scene of the last visit to this temple.
※ The origin of the flea market
Flea Market (Flea Market) is the nickname for the market selling second-hand goods in European and American countries.Mainly in the form of street stalls, most of the items sold are second-hand and second-hand goods, ranging from clothing, accessories, furniture, electrical appliances to auto supplies, and the prices are low.There are two main theories about the origin and evolution of the flea market:
One is that based on the consideration of maintaining the city appearance, the Paris government drove out the poor who made a living by picking up tatters in 1884, and transported urban waste to the abandoned military camps in the suburbs. After the poor were sorted and sorted, they were sold on the spot and sold at a local stall. Later, it became a place. The fixed market, because people jokingly said that junk stalls must have a lot of fleas, that's why it has the title of Flea Market.
The other is that originally originated in the Manhattan area in the 18th century, there was a fixed market called Fly Market, which lasted from before the American Revolution (1775) to about 1816, because Fly was derived from the market Dutch name Vly or Vlie, which means valley, is pronounced like flea in Dutch, so the word Flea Market came later.
