We
decided
on
our
hotel
in
Chiang
Mai
due
to
its
proximity
to
Kalare
night
bazar.
A
Chinese
market
or
a
Chinatown
in
any
city
has
inherent
benefits
of
good
food
and
good
shopping.
In
shopping
you
may
end
up
buying
a
fake
or
duplicate
brand
but
food
is
always
authentic
and
cheap.
This
market
and
the
surrounding
shops
fit
that
definition.
The
market
opens
in
the
evening.
Food
stalls
do
brisk
business
till
about
11
pm
after
which
they
start
winding
up.
But
the
bars
with
billiard
boards
and
girls
in
skimpy
clothes
under
colourful
lights
remain
open
past
midnight.
Though
Thai
food
is
sold
in
majority
of
the
outlets,
there
are
Chinese,
Japanese,
Malaysian
and
even
Indian
food
stalls
there.
We
had
a
fantastic
dinner
on
two
nights
back
to
back.
There
was
a
stall
where
fried
silk
worms,
centipedes,
scorpions
and
many
other
insects
were
being
sold.
You
can
buy
an
ensemble
of
them
or
just
one
variety,
the
choice
is
yours.
Food
costs
around
50
to
90
Thai
Baht
per
plate
and
are
very
tasty.
The
bazar
is
full
of
tourists
and
local
people
and
is
very
lively.
On
both
sides
of
the
the
main
road
in
front
of
Kalare
bazar
you
can
spend
hours
shopping.
In
the
morning
the
market
changes
its
character.
It
is
silent
and
practically
non-operational.
However
on
the
back
side,
a
vegetable
and
fruit
market
operates
where
you
get
fresh
vegetables,
fruit,
pork,
fish
,
household
items,
groceries
etc.
It's
a
fabulous
place
to
be.
