night delight

A Night DelightMany parts of Thailand do not come alive until after sunset. Whether for dining, dancing, drinking or even browsing the night markets, the country has something to suit absolutely every taste. Thai food is legendary but you have to actually visit Thailand itself to truly sample it and eating is something which the Thai people like to do slowly and in some style.There are also plenty of international restaurants as well as street stalls serving tasty morsels. Anyone who likes to listen to live music or dance the night away will discover that Thailand’s appeal lasts long after it’s sun has set.

Chiang Mai’s other walking street is ‘Wualai Walking Street’, which commences at the southern moat opposite the old city. The open-air market stretches all over the length of Wualai Road, and is more often known to locals as the Wualai Market or simply Saturday Market, because it is held every Saturday evening.

Wualai Walking Street is relatively small, compared to the Sunday Market held in Tha Pae. It is also less busy with much more space for visitors to chill out.

Wualai Street used to be the old silver-making district of Chiang Mai and you’ll still see a few traditional silver workshops within this area. Like on the Sunday Walking Street, there are plenty of tasty eateries, but on Wualai there are small food shops, set up as a food market within the section of Soi 3.

There are two cultural walking streets in Chiang Mai. One of them is ‘Tha Pae Walking Street’, which runs the entire length of the Ratchadamnoen Road starting from Tha Pae Gate, cutting right through the heart of the old city.It turns into a pedestrian street every Sunday from late afternoon until midnight and is also known as ‘Sunday Walking Street’.

Tha Pae Walking Street is a great spot to shop, eat and watch the world pass by. Here you can find all kinds of Thai handicrafts, decorative products in Lannastyle, and various clothes, traditional and contemporary.

Tha Pae Walking Street also has a great amount of eateries all along both sides as you walk by. Look out for street performances by local artists and there are plenty of pubs and bars in case you get tired of the walking.

Nimmanhaemin Road lies west from the city walls heading towards the Suthep Mountain. It is better to use a Tuk Tuk or Song Thaeo.

Getting there

Nimmanhaemin Road in Chiang Mai, lying west from the city walls heading towards the Suthep Mountain, has recently become a blooming shopping area with a great number of designer shops.

Most of the purchasable products here are decorative or ornamental. There are several shops which sell fabrics or candles. Nimmanhaemin Road is also another good place where you can look for inspiring works from local artists.

There is also an art shop, a gallery and a theatre called ‘Gong Dee’ at the end of Soi 1, which is certainly worth a visit. Most recently, arcades such as the ‘Moda Place’, the ‘Nimmanhaemin Promenade’ as well as the ‘Tall Teak Plaza’ have been added to Soi 1 of Nimmanhaemin Road due to the popularity of the place. All three arcades are standing right next to each other.

In northern Thai language ‘Kad’ means ‘Market’. The word ‘Luang’ represents ‘big or huge’. The meaning of ‘Kad Luang’ is, therefore, ‘Big Market’. The other name of Kad Luang is ‘Warorot Market’.

Kad Luang is one of the oldest remaining markets in Chiang Mai. Since the old days, it has always been very well-known for Thai traditional food, products, such as ‘Nam Prik Noom’, a delicious chili paste, which goes very well with most kinds of Thai food, even with plain rice. The taste of this paste is sweet rather than spicy, and is comparable with marmalade in Western culture.

‘The Pub’ is one of the oldest pubs within the city of Chiang Mai. The building was built in 1969.

Originally, this building was intended to be a library, but it ended up as a watering hole for local tobacco dealers. Remarkably, many of these people were from South Africa.

The Pub is just the right place for people who are yearning for the atmosphere of British pubs in the northern part of Thailand.

Muay Thai (Thai boxing) is the national sport of Thailand. Almost every town has a Muay Thai stadium and shows take place most nights of the week in Bangkok.

Muay Thai is known as the science of the eight limbs because fighters are allowed to use their knees, elbows and chins as well as their fists.

A fight can last for up to five three- minute rounds and will be accompanied by traditional music. Fighters will also normally perform a ‘Wai Kru’ (paying respect to teachers) dance before each bout.

The Chao Phraya River has always been the most important river in the central part of Thailand. The country’s capitals have always been located within the area of this river, even in the days before Bangkok existed.

A cruise tour along the legendary Chao Phraya River is probably one of the most pleasant ways to explore the city.

When the capital of Thailand was moved to Bangkok in 1782 (the beginning of the Rattanakosin period), it was laced with canals, so Bangkok was sometimes called the “Venice of the East” by European visitors.

Today the Chao Phraya River is still charming for anyone wishing to make a cruise tour in a peaceful atmosphere amidst bustling Bangkok.

A river tour offers a truly sedate way to tour the country’s capital, taking in the scenes and sights while enjoying a meal, some drinks and perhaps even a dance to a live band.

River cruises are particularly popular with Thai people on auspicious occasions such as weddings. There are a number of tour operators offering river cruises and a simple internet search will come up with several English language websites.

Bangkok is quite big in size and has many historical attractions. There are several logistic options, which you could use to explore this beautiful city at night but perhaps the best way to feel like good old days is to take a tram.

“City Old Town Night Tour” by Buddy Group provides you the most exclusive and unforgettable tram tour. Starting by having a delicious dinner at Sidewalk Café on Rajchadamnoen road and then taking a tram which will pass many of the city’s best sights such as the Golden Mountain, Democracy Monument, the Grand Palace, Wat Pho which is the temple of Reclining Buddha.

The tram speed is not too fast so you could observe all the charming attrac-tions along the route.

Outside of Chinese speaking nations, Chinese food does not get much more authentic and delicious than with the various small restaurant shophouses and street vendors in Bangkok’s China Town. It can get pretty hectic, so be prepared for some gentle jostling and slow shuffling, as you make your way through the crowds, and sample the goods along the way and remember in China Town, if it moves, chances are you can probably eat it!

Street food on Khao San Road has reassuringly changed little over the last decade. Vendors sell cut fruit, egg noodles and spring rolls.

Falafel and kebabs are a big favorite here too. Try out the freshly made smoothies, which will refresh you in the heat of the day.
