    One stop market (bazaar) for street shopping , food and drinks. Reasonable, clean and friendly market. It also hosts Thai kick boxing every monday, Wednesday and Friday 9pm. Ticket price starts 600 and 1000 near ring side Street food center has variety of asian cuisine and cocktails with beer and other beverages. Worth a visit!

    I personally preferred this night market to the one opposite, as this one is a lot livelier. There are two stages here, and one was having a Thai cultural dance which another had a breakdancing group. There's also lots of food stalls here to choose from. By 7pm, the place was packed and it's a lot harder to get a table. Prices of food here start from ฿50 and you can get a decent meal for less than ฿200.

    Went to see a Muay Thai fight at the stadium. It was much better than I imagined! They made translations in English. There is even Wi-Fi. General seating is fine. I bought the tickets from my gym but anyone can buy them in person 600 THB. They provide you with a program and there is snacks and water available to buy inside. It was entertaining and organized.

    Wow! An amazing array of food stalls on offer! Surrounding a medium sized seating area. Get there early to get a seat with a breeze! The live music here is loud and the area is popular with the younger generation. Several bars surround the food court. One with several pool tables. There’s a great atmosphere to match the food. You’ll have to go back more than once to have a taste of all that’s on offer. We were there around 9pm on a Saturday and it was busy, but pleasantly so.

    Nice night bazaar. Lots of food choices. There was a lady singing the night we visited. We had food (gyoza, satay, etc.) from a few stalls and all were good.

    Tourist trap. Come here if you want to get ripped off. Food prices here are basically 2x more than street stalls. The roti here is 2x the nearby Michelin Bib Gourmand rated Rotee Pa Day. Pad Thai is 2x the cost of downtown Bangkok. Always haggle clothing by at least 50% off from asking price

    It gets pretty crowded from about seven p m. they have a band playing, and quite a lot of options for food and drinks, the quality of the food is not that great, But it's a festival atmosphere and full of tourists and a few locals. Worth checking out once IMHO.

    Vibrant and vivid night market full of great eats, shopping, and photos ops. Not all places will let you barter, but some vendors will give you a great deal. You could spend hours here shopping, eating, and just looking at all there is to see.

    Maybe it’s all a bit touristy, but this is an excellent food court in the heart of the night market area - and it was great to see it fully busy on a Tuesday night post-Covid. Banana and nutella roti is a bit of a classic anywhere in Thailand - but these might just be the best I’ve ever had! A live band at the Blue Boys Bar fills the place with a bit of extra atmosphere!

    This place is very touristy. The quality of food is average and more catered to non-asian travellers. The better dishes are the Thai crepe, the Khao Soi with egg noodles and Ice cream roller from the stalls in my photos.

    It was a relaxing night market, but prices were not so friendly as Bangkok, which is a typical tourist spot there, I can see and I can tell goodbye soon

    Average spent of 70THB/pax with a variety of food option post COVID. There is live music when we visited! The place is fully sheltered so raining is not an excuse to miss this!

    When visiting Chiang Mai pre-Covid this was somewhere we spent quite a few nights and really enjoyed. This time we were a bit disappointed at how much smaller it had gotten. We didn't visit particularly late but already some of the vendors were out of various dishes and at some stalls they weren't present at all. The ribs we got were quite tough, although the sauce was nice. The biryani was simple but tasty enough. It got quiet quite quickly (except the music from the bar next to it which was deafening) and we decided to head back to the old city. Hopefully it will pick up again in the coming high season as it was a bit of a shadow of its former self.

    It’s very colourful and pretty filled with life from afternoon till late at night, but try not to eat here if you can help it as the food is all prepared too quickly and with little regard to quality, and this includes all places sadly, tried Arabic, Indian and Thai food and they were bad. But, there is a lot of fun to be had, lots of cool things to try, but it’s mostly for the tourists so be very careful not to get gouged or pay more than you have to. Some places will quote one price for foreigners and another for locals.

    Great night market. Lots of food, clothes, activities

  • 2/5 RnV M. 1 year ago on Google
    We walked this strip of bazaars and were not impressed by any of them. Most of the space is empty. The majority of the vendors they still have are overpriced. I saw some items for literally 5-6 times the price than what I saw them for at the Sunday night market. Not worth the time to go.

  • 4/5 Warren W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lively and you’ll find plenty of food and souvenirs varieties

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 11 months ago on Google
    We had an amazing time here. Everyone was very friendly, the food was amazing, and the drinks were inexpensive. We came to check out Muay Thai and ended up staying to watch all 5 fights. They included members of the crowd in on the ceremony which I thought was very special. I will be coming back tomorrow for more great food and one of my favorite Atmospheres in Thailand.

    The atmosphere at Kalare Night Bazaar is electric. As soon as you step foot into the market, you're greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors, enticing aromas, and the lively sounds of music and chatter. The vibrant energy of the place is contagious and immediately puts you in a joyful mood. The variety of stalls and vendors is impressive. You can find everything from unique handicrafts and artwork to trendy clothing and accessories. The market is a treasure trove of local craftsmanship and offers an excellent opportunity to find one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts. The aroma of sizzling street food fills the air, tempting your taste buds at every turn. From authentic Thai dishes to international flavors, the options are endless. Whether you're craving pad Thai, grilled skewers, or refreshing fruit smoothies, there's something to satisfy every palate. Whether you're looking to shop, eat, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere, Kalare Night Bazaar has it all.

    Big food cort. We had some below average sag paneer. It could have been made with caned spinach, and had a total of 3 verry small bites of cheese. Decent atmosphere, but I recomend eating someplace else.

    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.

    A fun little market to wander around at night in Chiangmai. It opens from 5 till midnight and you can find lots of cute stuff like clothes or decorations. One of the many nights market in Chiangmai I love to vist:)

    #KalareNightBazzar What's an exhilarating experience!! There are stalls for bargain hunters, places to eat for gourmets and entertainments for music lovers in this wonderful city.

  • 4/5 Petr M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place for walking around at night. You find there really interesting things from clothes, souvenirs to electronics (of course fake things). YOU HAVE TO BARGAIN. Go down 50% for almost stands (but please dont have on your mind that the people no need to eat and everything is free, if you are not experienced in things you want to buy so dont guess an random number). I recommended check from the end to the head of market. They can have better prices.

    Convenient for Thai fast-food but not that reasonable price, food and atmosphere are not that special. Felt like tourist traps.
