Chiang Rai
The craftsmen from Chiang Rai do not go out and sell their work, they make you come for it. Tucked away in the hills and mountains, their homes are also their work studios where all the talent manifests into lovely crafts. There are also artisan communities that promote spa products, herbal teas, health food, textiles, and tribal crafts. The Doi Tung brand is known for some of the best quality crafts across Chiang Rai. Apart from these, the Night Bazaar and Saturday Walking Street are great options for an amazing shopping experience.
Central Plaza
Located in the heart of the city, this shopping mall is Chiang Rai's first eco-friendly mall. It houses over 280 retail shops, and has pledged to follow traditional Lanna lifestyle. It is the right place to visit if you want to see the rooted Thailand culture of the North.
Mae Sai Market (Tachilek Market)
Mae Sai is a quaint town located on the Thailand side of the border with Myanmar. Chinese products dominate the market here, along with several options for food. Tachilek, on the Myanmar side of the border, was a hub for shops selling a variety of good quality stones. Now, there are stores that sell synthetics and knock-offs of branded handbags alongside gem stores. Visitors are allowed to cross over to the Myanmar side of the market everyday between 6:30 am and 6 pm.
Chiang Mai
Life is not hectic when shopping in Chiang Mai. The markets are busy, but they make space for you to be busy doing nothing before you slip into your shopaholic self. Just stroll around sipping on fresh coconut water with one hand and keep the other hand free to check out the souvenirs and handicrafts on display. Chiang Mai also has malls for those who want to move on from the local shop vibe.
Walking Street
On a regular Sunday in Chiang Mai, from 4 pm until midnight, the centre of the walled city comes alive with a huge street market, which stretches the one-kilometre length of Tha Phae Gate to Ratchadamnoen Road. The buzz is all about the display of skills by the Northern Thai people, their arts and their crafts. The items on sale are great for you to take back home as pretty souvenirs and for decorations.
Central Festival
Central Festival is a polished shopping mall where you find what you didn't in the local markets. It is roomy and clean, with a vast choice in shops and products, and a food court with delectable cuisine.

Promenada Resort Mall
Promenada Resort Mall is more an open-air resort style retail hub than a contemporary, multi-storeyed air-conditioned mall. It has more space, more style, more choice, more fun, and more flavour than other malls. Whether it is coffee shops or banks, cinema or sports, food or wellness, supermarkets or fashion shops, this mall has it all.
Krabi

The smaller local markets sell all kinds of products, from trainers to CDs to watches.

Shop for t-shirts, sunglasses, watches, beach wear, lamps, ripped jeans, copied Ralph Lauren polo shirts, sandals, bag, carved wooden souvenirs, and much more.
