| This spot outside McDonalds looking towards Tha Pae Gate is a great for spotting passing local characters. Cross the road and walk towards the gate to find many people having their photo taken at this Chiang Mai landmark. You may also feed the hundreds of pigeons. |

| A proud looking market stall owner not far from Thapae Gate. Every Sunday night it turns into an enormous market with many superb things to buy. We bought many Christmas presents there this year and shipped them back to the UK. |
