There are several more temples on Tapae Road. Not the prettiest, but the most interesting is perhaps Wat Boopharam. It has  a brandnew Viharn,  that mixes various styles and is decorated with lots of filigree and golden chofahs.  Very beautiful, on the other hand, is the smaller old wooden Viharn in pure Lanna style on the right. Inside are several gilded Buddha images. On the other side of the road opposite Wat Boopharam is Wat Chetawan, also worth a visit.

If it is already late in the afternoon after your visit to Tapae road, ask a Tuk-Tuk driver to take you to Chang Klang Road. Chang Klang Road is the setting for the famous Night Market of Chiang Mai. From around 5 p.m. until late in the evening lots of merchants open stalls on the sidewalks and display their goods: clothes, purses, suitcases, hilltribe jewellery, all kinds of lacquerware items, carved wooden animals, etc. Although you can buy the same items also in the big souvenir shopping emporia in and around Chiang Mai, shopping at the Night Market is more fun! (Even better is going to the workshops and studios where they are produced, see Handicraft Shopping Tour.)
