Everyone comes here during the day and can visit both markets at once.If you come here at night, you can see the night market on Wichayanon Road. It can be said that it has different styles during the day and night, but they are all quite traditional and authentic Thai market style.
In addition, the end of Wichayanon Road is directly connected to Chang Klan Road. It only takes about 600 meters to walk from Warorot Bazaar to Kalare Night Bazaar (Kalare Night Bazaar).If you are physically strong, you can go to Warorot and Longan Market in the afternoon, you can go directly from day to night, and then add the extra theater of the Chiang Mai Tourist Night Market, which is absolutely in line with the itinerary standard of walking to the soft legs.
Near the Warorot and Longan Market is Chinatown. There is a small traditional market near the Mee Bin River, and there is also a stop for double-trailers. At that time, we parked our motorcycles nearby and enjoyed the authentic "Pho delicacies from roadside stalls in Chiang Mai》, after wandering around this small traditional market, walk directly to Warorot and Longan Bazaar.

The main area of the market is a square indoor shopping mall, and the main building has three floors.The first floor mainly sells food products, both cooked and raw food, and the second and third floors sell clothing and daily necessities.

Maybe you will find the taste you like. In fact, even just looking at it is quite fun.

Longan Market Tour
Longan market (Ton Lam Yai Market, ตลาดต้นลำไยเชียงใหม่) is marked with a simplified Chinese name, which should be easy for everyone to find.The entire longan market is quite wide inside. In addition to the central area where there are also many food vendors, there are also many shops selling daily necessities in the surrounding area. Those who are interested can visit it carefully. In fact, it is quite nostalgic.
From my own personal observation, the products sold at Warorot Market are mainly Thai style, and the products sold at Longan Market have a relatively high degree of Chinese color, and the difference between the two markets can be roughly distinguished in this way.Because the two markets are next to a road facing each other, there is no need to distinguish between them. Anyway, just go shopping!
▲ The small shop selling daily necessities has the retro style of Taiwan's early orange shop.
▲The situation of hand-made food can be seen in the market, and it is fresh.
▲ An enthusiastic mobile phone supply store in the market, we are here to ask the boss to cut the SIM card for us. The free service and the good attitude are really Buddha's heart.
▲▼ You can always see many gold jewelry shops inside and outside the market area. It is said that the transaction volume is still quite large. It is probably a Thai style of financial management.
▲A large and bright strawberry, anyone who has eaten it will probably say: not sweet. ^^
Transportation: How to get to Warorot Market and Longan Market
The transportation method in Chiang Mai is very simple. The main options are renting a car and taking public transportation such as tuk-tuk and shuangtiao. Therefore, it may not be possible to prepare the correct market map data and English and Thai names. Question!
When I was collecting Internet information, I saw that many people mistakenly believed the Longan Market for the Warorot Market. Later, I saw that Google Maps was also marked incorrectly. I couldn’t help but report it to Gooogle for correction. Now everyone should be able to. I saw the correct location of Warorot Bazaar. The location that was originally marked incorrectly was actually the location of Longan Bazaar.
