About this audio guide
This guide to Night Bazaar Chiang Mai traces Chang Klan Road back to a caravan stop for Yunnanese Chinese traders who came down from the mountains with mule trains of tea, raw silk, and opium on their way to Burma's coast. It follows how those first roadside stalls, once effectively owned by Chinese merchants, grew into the sprawling market halls around you today, the Night Bazaar building, the Kalare complex, and Anusarn market. Listen for the hill-tribe textiles, silver, and woodcarvings that replaced the old caravan goods.
