Another fun thing to do here is go to the night markets. This one also happens to be in Chiang Rai, but one of the most famous is probably in Chiang Mai.  There's lots of tasty and inexpensive  food and a wide variety of things to try. Below you see the widely popular noodle soup, and the perhaps not so popular deep fried crickets. The second picture is  traditional Thai dancers. The idea is to just wander  around,  eat, take in the sights, maybe look  at some touristy craft stuff. I ended up buying a small clay lantern that burns cooking oil.
