Warorot Market closes in Chiang Mai
Images adapted from: Palanla and Chiang Mai News
Warorot Market, the biggest and busiest market in Chiang Mai, has now closed down until further notice due to the government’s closure policy to curb COVID-19 infections.
Founded in 1933, the market is among one of the oldest shopping areas in the province. It’s also a very popular shopping hub for both locals and visitors.

The last time Warorot Market closed was in 1968 when it caught on fire. It reopened again 4 years later after a big renovation.

Chiang Mai and many cities other in Thailand, is not the same without its vibrant people filling the streets with life. We hope to see the old picture of bustling streets and markets soon.
