Most of our evenings were spent at the Night Market.  Along sort of the Main Street of Chiang Mai, about 3 to 4 in the afternoon, vendors begin setting up their booths up and down the sidewalks. The selling goes on all evening until about midnight.
 Shoppers are able to buy just about anything from shirts, bags, handmade items such as purses, wood carved souvenirs, toys, and the list goes on. Of course the fun part of the whole thing is to try to bargain with the individual vendor until agreeing upon the final price. As a result, a person is able to buy some nice stuff at very low prices.

Here is an example of a very cheap toy that I bought at the Night Market. It is sort of a rubbery, squishy ball-like creature that can be shaped and formed to the heart's delight.
This fellow was selling mostly musical instruments at the Night Market. The one he is holding I believe is called a pin (if that's not right, someone let me know). I bought one of these instruments from this guy. He could really play the thing too.
