Chiang Mai, Thailand - Walking Street (Thanon Kon Dern)

Chiang Mai, my hometown, is famous for couple things: nice weather, friendly people, pretty girls, and the night market. 10 years ago when I was living here, the original night market, called "Night Bazaar", was the place everybody who come to Chiang Mai has to visit. Certainly, things change with time. Night Bazaar as I knew it is very deserted, and things aren't looking too good on that street. Maybe the locals got tired of seeing the same products on the street @Night Bazaar over and over. Tourists would go there paying $10 for $1 product. The markup is high, and the locals know it. Every Sunday here in Chiang Mai is lively @Thanon Kon Dern (Patuu Tar Paer). Street vendors selling everything you can ever imagine for cheaper and higher quality. Cute Gifts, handmade serveniors, decorations, handmade clothes, printed arts, local t-shirts (think I heart Chiang Mai shirt), fresh fruit smoothies, old-style icecream, street performance, and most important great street food. Even though I have heard of this place many times, today was the first time I went there. The weather wasn't too hot and rain wasn't pouring down like this morning. Food was eaten, pictures were taken, and great memories were created. I love my hometown. Make sure to visit this place when you have a chance to be here.

I love Chiang Mai, and enjoy the pictures below. :-)
