It pays to get up early in Thailand. The markets are usually buzzing well before daybreak.

Chiang Rai morning market is located between the two clock towers. There’s also a great evening market in the same area where you can buy some fantastic cooked local dishes.

It’s lychee season up north right now and when a truck from a local farm pulled in with a freshly picked crop it caused a buying frenzy. A four kilos for 100 baht, who could resist?
