Real Life Captured #16: Food Markets in Chaing Mai Thailand Part Three (16 photos)
This is the final part three of my real life captured food markets in Chaing Mai series. Here you can see part one and part two. Chiang Mai is a great place to live comfortably on very little. No wonder it's one of the most popular digital nomad destinations in the world. The photos in this series are mostly of the main Muang Mai Market; where a tourist basically can not be found. Oddly enough this is the market to see. This is where the locals and restaurant owners shop.
The tourist are guided to Warrot Market and Tom Salat market where they pay to have a cooking class and a tour at the small touristy Tom Salat market. In my "Travel Pro" opinion I'd never pay for a cooking class and tour of a market. It's easy enough to make friends with locals and get a private tour of the real deal if that is what you are looking for; something I have done many times. Now lets take a final look at what I call the real deal when it comes to the market place in Chiang Mai!

With over 10 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a video just for you!
It is always best to make friends with local and get to know the things their way, then acting all tourist. Are those worms in a bags? Woh! Good post.
Hey! Daniel, did you eat any of them? ;)
Thanks for your very kind comments. I've been traveling from Bangkok, to Sweden, to London, To Orlando, now I'm in Tampa with my dad. In two days I'll be near Miami with my uncle, then I'm off to Ecuador for about a month. So sorry for the late reply.
Yes I couldn't agree more, the most interesting way to travel for me, is to be and do like the locals as much as possible. That is a great way to immerse yourself in their culture and actually learn something. As far as those worms. They were much easier for me to photograph then to eat. No I didn't try them. That kind of stuff is just not worth the adventure as it kind of turns my stomach.
Hey! No worries at all. I will look forward to seeing your travel posts from Ecuador. I totally agree with you, its the best way to travel.
Thanks for answer my question buddy. Have fun traveling and keep up the good work.
Awesome my steemit brother! Your encouraging words and support is highly appreciated!

wow, such a variety and strange items in the markets....beautiful and funny and sometimes hard to look at.
Yes, sometime hard to look at I would agree. Regardless I enjoy all aspects of these type of markets, as it has their unique Thai culture written all over it in every way. I'll pass on the meal worms and frogs though! lol
