Pavilion Night Bazaar is a covered market hall on Chang Klan Road in Mueang Chiang Mai District and one of several halls that make up the city’s famous Night Bazaar strip. It draws shoppers hunting for handicrafts and foodies grazing on cheap Thai street food after dark (KhaosanRoad.com).
Dozens of stalls sell hill-tribe textiles, elephant pants, wood carvings and handmade jewelry. Between the stalls are inexpensive services and small boutiques (Chiang Mai Travel Hub). Food vendors offer northern Thai snacks, grilled skewers, fresh fruit shakes and noodle bowls at prices well below those of nearby restaurants. Visitors rate the bazaar 4.2 out of 5 across about 170 reviews (Sawadee Chiang Mai).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Listed hours run 08:00 to 23:00, but most stalls open in the early evening, so arrive around 18:00 to browse before the after-dinner crowds peak (Visit Thailand Today). Hours can change on Thai public holidays, so check ahead if your visit falls on one. The cool season from November to February brings the heaviest foot traffic. Haggle politely, carry small baht notes, and compare prices across halls before you buy. Anusarn Market is about two minutes’ walk away, which makes it easy to visit both in one evening. The Ping River and Tha Phae Gate are also within walking distance. Grab or a red songthaew can get you back to the Old City.
