The Best Night Markets in Southeast Asia
Night markets are the soul of Southeast Asian travel.
- Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok: the largest market in Asia, 15,000 stalls.
- Chiang Mai Night Bazaar: every night, good textiles and handicrafts.
- Hội An Night Market: next to the Thu Bon River, beautiful lantern setting.
- Shilin Night Market in Taipei for the oyster omelette and stinky tofu.
Tip: eat dinner AT the market, not at a restaurant near it. Bring cash, many stalls are cash only. Go early for more energy, go late for better deals on leftover food.
