Chiang Khan is a really lovely town and one of the best things about it is its nightly walking street. Just in from the Mekong River, this road closes to traffic at night and becomes a lively market that stretches for kilometers. The look and the concept of this market is similar to the walking street in the backpacker town of Pai, but there are no backpackers and almost no foreigners here. This night market is one of our top activities in Chiang Khan and you shouldn’t miss it when you’re here.

What to do on the Walking Street
The main thing to do out here is pretty much the national pastime of Thailand… eat. There is a dazzling variety of food being made and sold, much of it local delicacies you can’t find in other parts of Thailand. Almost everything out here is quite cheap so the best thing to do is just try a bit of everything. The main specialty is tiny shrimp and crabs skewered and grilled. Another is candied coconut and other fruit. Most food is made for takeaway and you can absolutely snack as you walk.
