On the south side of Chiang Mai Old City, the Chamcha Market opens every weekend — a local market with a completely different vibe from the tourist-oriented night markets.

What is Chamcha Market?

Chamcha Market is a popular weekend market held every Saturday and Sunday in Chiang Mai. Local artists and craftspeople sell handmade goods, accessories, and food.

• Open: Every Saturday & Sunday
• Hours: 09:00 - 16:00

There is also a cafe space in the back — perfect for a relaxing weekend.

Amazing Find: 99B Spoon Rings!

Deep in the market, we discovered a craftsman making spoon rings. He takes vintage spoons and forks, cuts them to fit your finger, and polishes them by hand to create a one-of-a-kind original ring.

And the price? Just 99 Baht (about $3)!

How to Order

• Choose your spoon/fork — from antique to modern designs
• Get measured — cut to your exact finger size on the spot
• Watch the craftsman work — hand-polished right in front of you
• Done! — Your unique ring is ready in about 10-15 minutes
