In front of the Mosque, along side a hundred year old Thai style house in the Chiang Mai night bazaar area, there is a unique weekend market. The sellers are mostly all Hill Tribe, Chinese Muslim, Shan Burmese and more.

Get there early, this market is finished by midday, as most good fresh food markets usually are in Thailand. The main objective was to shop for fresh plums which are in season, we came back to Pai with a truckload of fresh fruits, and other fresh hard to find produce.

Shopping at open air markets is the best way to select fresh produce, you’ll never feel the same entering a supermarket again. Not only is market culture a place to shop for groceries, it is a social event, a place to see and be seen. Open air fresh markets in Thailand (especially northern Thailand) are ethnic melting pots where different people gather to sell their wares and co-mingle amongst each other.
