ART AND CRAFTS AT CHIANGMAI NIGHT MARKET IS A COLLECTOR'S DREAM COME TRUE. THE ARTWORKS ARE GENUINE AND ORIGINAL AND ARE USUALLY PAINTED BY ARTISTS WHO RUN THE SMALL STALLS SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE YOUR COMMISSIONS COMING TO LIFE BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES! FROM A FEW HUNDRED TO A FEW THOUSAND RINGGIT FOR BIGGER PIECES, YOU CAN DECORATE YOUR ENTIRE HOME IN MALAYSIA WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK OR START YOUR OWN GALLERY! THE SHOPPING MALLS AND ARTY CENTRES ARE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED WITH A SMALL PRECINT IN THE HEART OF CHIANGMAI IN NORTHERN THAILAND. KNOWN AS 'THE ROSE OF THAILAND', CHIANGMAI HAS A COOLER CLIME THAN BUSTLING BANGKOK AND ITS ART SCENE IS WORLD FAMOUS. INDEED I HAVE SEEN MANY CHIANGMAI PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES SELLING IN LONDON AND PARIS AT 8 TIMES THE PRICES WHICH ARE CONSIDERED REASONABLE IN EUROS! NOW EVERYTHING IS CLOSED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS BUT MARK CHIANGMAI AS YOUR NEXT TO-GO LIST WHEN THIS EVIL INFECTION SENT BY THE DEVIL IS OVER OR HAS SUBSIDED TO SAFE LEVEL.
