In Chiang Rai, the night markets are vibrant centers of local culture and offer a number of unique experiences, including the chance to sample edible insects. Eating insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, silkworms and bamboo worms is a traditional practice in Thailand due to their high protein content and availability. At the night markets, these delicacies are often seasoned with spices or deep-fried to give them a crunchy texture, making them an adventurous snack for visitors and a staple for locals. The atmosphere of the night market, with its colorful stalls and live music, creates an unforgettable setting for those willing to immerse themselves in the experience.

In addition to its culinary adventures, Chiang Rai is known for its elephant camps, which offer the opportunity to observe and interact with these majestic animals. Visiting these camps offers insight into the important role elephants play in Thai culture and history, while supporting conservation efforts.
