Shopping, massage and cookery

-Shopping: Chiang Mai has a large and famous nightly bazaar for arts, handicrafts, and counterfeit products of all descriptions, and a number of large, well-appointed modern shopping centers. The night bazaar alone sprawls along several city blocks along sidewalks, inside buildings, and in open squares. In addition a handicraft and food market is held every Sunday evening on Rachadamnoen road (the main street in the historical center) which is then closed down for motorized traffic, attracting many local residents and tourists.

-Thai massage: The back streets and main thoroughfares of Chiang Mai have a variety of massage parlors which offer anything from quick, simple, face and foot massages, to month-long courses in the art of Thai massage.

-Thai cookery: A number of Thai cooking schools have their home in Chiang Mai. (see also Thai food)
