Answer
Most markets in Chiang Mai open in the late afternoon and close at night. Popular night markets like the Sunday Walking Street Market usually operate from 4 PM to 10 PM. Day markets, such as Warorot Market, generally open around 6 AM and close by 5 PM. It's best to check specific market schedules as they may vary.
Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues. Confirm that any named venue still operates and check its present opening days, booking method and location directly.
