Jing Jai Market Chiang Mai

This guide to Jing Jai Market in Chiang Mai starts with an odd rule for a project built by one of Thailand's biggest retail conglomerates: no motorbikes, no plastic, ever. You'll hear how Central Group planted this weekend market north of the old city walls in 2006, calling it a shared-value project meant to put farmers and craftspeople first. It traces how organic checks on every stall and a promise to local vendors grew the market into the linked zones standing here today.
