Chiang Mai markets are an endless display of color and aromas I never knew existed. Wandering through the paths looking at all the unusual veggies, fruits, flowers, and assortment of fried things, a frequent phrase comes to mind that our Thai Cooking Instructor liked to use... "same same but different." The market is just that, "same same but different." It has everything you would expect to find at a market, just in a different form from your usual grocery adventures.
Hot Chili Peppers (Prik Kie Noo)
One of the many varieties of rice (Kao)
Rows and rows of rice

Fried Grasshopper anyone?
