Warorot market

Warorot is a well-known Chiang Mai market which is outside the old city walls near a bank of the Ping river. Locals shop here. I wanted to get one or two leather goods and some food of nostalgia.

This is one aisle selling dry foods.

A view from the stairs. Chinese New Year had recently passed.

Another view.

Found the vendor making kuih kapit, also called love letters in English. It seems they may be related to Dutch egg roll wafers. Back in Malaysia these were usually Chinese New Year treats given as presents. They were light and crunchy.

I also came away with a stick of durian cake, durian that had been boiled to the consistency of a chewy paste with sugar.

The road between the market and the river is lined with flower stalls.
