Answer

The Night Bazaar is quite accessible from the Old City. You can easily walk there in about 20 minutes if you're up for a stroll.

• Alternatively, taking a songthaew is a popular choice and will cost just a few baht. Just hop on one heading towards the Night Bazaar and enjoy the short ride.

• If you prefer a quicker option, taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab are also available. They'll get you there in about 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Compare the character of the area, realistic travel times, daytime and evening atmosphere, access during rain, and the distance to the places you expect to use most. Chiang Mai traffic can change quickly around schools, markets, festivals and peak arrival periods, so a route that looks short on a map may take longer at busy times. Prices and fares change, so request the current amount before committing.
