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 our motorcycles. 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 riding a motorcycle back to the hotel, I specially 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 realized that there is still this market that I don’t 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, 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 the ancient city of Chiang Mai is open from day to 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 in the center.The scope and scale of the entire market is small. Compared with the weekend and Sunday markets, of course it is insignificant. But because of this, the crowds will not be so crowded. It is quite comfortable and relaxing to stroll at night, not suitable for liking. People who feel that the night market must be visited by people who have weak legs are those who are busy.
▼ The first stall at the door allowed us to stop for a long time, selling handmade bookmarks with very diverse shapes.
▲▼ The bookmarks with various shapes and decorations are very suitable for those 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’s appearance, the Paris government drove out the poor people who made a living by picking up tatters in 1884, and transported the urban waste to the abandoned barracks in the suburbs. It is a fixed market, because people jokingly say that junk stalls must have a lot of fleas, which is why it has the title of Flea Market.
The other is that originally originated from the Manhattan area in the 18th century, there is a fixed market called Fly Market, which lasted from before the American Revolution (1775) to about 1816, because Fly is derived from the market Dutch name Vly Or Vlie, which means valley. The Dutch pronunciation is similar to the English flea, so the word Flea Market came later.
