Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Chiang Mai night markets reopening tomorrow
Night markets in Chiang Mai will be reopened tomorrow after the province went 6 consecutive days with no new Covid-19 cases.
According to Chiang Mai Governor, Charoenrit Sanguansat, the province and the provincial disease control committee agreed to ease up restrictions on social and business activities after the number of infections continually dropped and no new infections were reported during the past week.
As a result, flea markets, night markets, and walking streets across the province will be reopened tomorrow onwards.
However, the governor still reiterates that marketplaces and visitors must follow the disease control measures strictly.
Since the start of the second wave of Covid-19 in mid-December, Chiang Mai has tightened restrictions to prevent the virus spread in the province, with the order to close all markets and social activities for 14 days on January 6.

Six days without a case, you would think waiting for 14 days would be more appropriate. Of course consistency has never been a strong suit.

Good news, the night market is a major attraction, some great shops, I want to make sure the Night Market is happening when I get the chance to return to that fabulous city. Sitting inside the Temple grounds of Wat Chedi and other Temples is a beautiful way to spend the day. And the night market is like one of the great caravan stopping places of ancient times.
