storyThe walking street, and how a road becomes a floor

ถนนคนเดิน และถนนกลายเป็นพื้นได้อย่างไร

Ten Sundays in 2002 as a pilot; every Sunday since; moved once for the cables.

The Sunday evening walking street is a market which is held in Chiang Mai on Rachadamnoen road, the main road through the old city which leads from Tapae gate to Wat Phra Singh, and its side streets. Takeaway · CC BY-SA 4.0

What it is

A pilot called Ten Wonders of Lanna at Tha Phae ran on Sundays from 3 February to 7 April 2002; the municipality took it over weekly from 14 April, 13:00 to 22:00; it moved to Ratchadamnoen on 31 August 2004 when Tha Phae's cables went underground; about 1.5 km, 15:00 to 22:00. The Saturday street on Wua Lai followed.

The long version

Inference — it is the reverse of every other item on this site: a road taken away from vehicles rather than built for them, and the most-visited kilometre in the province because of it. Ratchadamnoen's one-way order of 2021 extends the same idea to the other six days.
