Chiang Mai is known for their weekend market from night street food markets, walking streets, farmer markets, morning food markets, craft market and so on. Today, in this post, I'm sharing the one I personally love the vibes in general and literally can visit this place every weekend.. and also, it's halloween weekend these last few days so might as well!... Halloween Craft at Jingjai market, Chiang Mai!
JingJai Farmer's Market Chiang Mai
This market is everything you could imagine about good chill weekend vibes.. Local food, a good cup of coffee, handcrafts, live music. I also love the fact that there're always interesting events held here. This last weekend, it's halloween weekend so they have this cute small halloween magnet painting workshop which sounded interesting with a little fun for me so there we went.
But first.. coffee..
There are a few coffee shops around. A few small stalls to coffee truck to actual shops. I normally just go for those small stalls or the trucks so that I could still sipping the coffee while walking around checking out other stuff in the market.
This time I went with Street Coffee Crew, a small coffee stall in one of the corners. Then without any expectation, an old guy sitting behind the coffee shop just handed me a hand-drawn card. Totally a different looking kind of art and I totally loved it! By the way, that's me on the card. Looks exactly like me, I know! I brought him a hot coffee to show an appreciation.
Halloween magnet painting workshop
As mentioned, Jingjai market does a lot of events on a lot of occasions and Halloween is one of them. There are halloween theme handmade stuff with a few workshops like magnet painting and bag painting. Our own pieces of art sound good so there we went.. sitting right by a few kids and pretending we're not that old.
150THB for 2 magnets and 200 for 4. We sat there for literally an hour ++ enjoying the live music from a few meters away.. Sipping the same cup of coffee while enjoying the creativity and colors. I totally had a great time doing all this and thanks to Jingjai market that provides all the fun and joy.
If you're in Chiang Mai for whatever occasions, check the market out. I'm sure you will have much fun either it's on halloween or other special events or not. The vibe here is always great!
