I mentioned earlier that we have after-dinner plan. Well, that’s to go night shopping at the local Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai - Hoorays Hoorays long live the Thai King!! Long live the Thai King heheh!!!

Just several minutes after our most wonderful dinner at the Dalaabaa Bar & Restaurant, we arrive here at the Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai City :

Well, I’ve been to this Chiang Mai Night Bazaar many times in my last December 10-day trip with my hubby Dear, & I absolutely love this place cos there’re tons of treasures to be founded & hunted in the many many push cart stalls along both sides of the streets & many many more shops beyond them in the back alleys etc!!!

And I’m pretty familiar with the place, & so as I’m speaking now, I’m getting real real excited!!

Map of Night Bazaar Chinag Mai :

My brother & our Thai friend have gone to visit another Thai friend after dropping Mom, Dad & I off at the Night Bazaar. And Mom & Dad decide to have coffee at the Starbucks Cafe at the Bazaar while I go shopping alone.

The time now is 9.45pm!! Already so late cos we’re all supposed to be meeting at the Starbucks cafe by 11pm!! I immediately waste no time after settling Mom & Dad down at the cosy Starbucks Cafe & ordering coffee for them, & off I go hunting for my hubby Dear’s T-shirts at the Bazaar.

And I manage to get 2 Thai Souvenir T-shirts for Dear - a bright red Tee with the very popular “Beer Chang” Logo. Elephants are called “Chang” in Thai. 

Actually, Dear already has this same T-shirt which was purchased here at the Night Bazaar last December when we visited Chiang Mai. But when we brought it home to Singapore, we realised that the Logo was damaged. So here I am, buying Dear the same Tee again heheh!!

This is the 2nd Northern Thailand Chiang Jungle Tour Souvenir T-shirt for Dear :

Why this design? Cos Dear & I really enjoyed our Jungle Tour riding on Elephant last December when we were here in the North, that’s why :))

Here below are my 4 Thai handmade Spices Souvenir Magnets, all prettily wrapped up. I always like the way the Thai people in the North wrap their sales items, usually using recycled papers or plastics!!

And I  love the Northern people, besides being the friendliest & most polite & helpful of all Thai people in Thailand, they’re very creative & great painters & artists & always handmake their own crafts to sell :

Anyway, the Spices in each & every piece of these Spices Souvenir Magnets have been exquisitively selected & stored in mini Gunny Sacks designed with colorful Hearts & Flowers embroideries. Spices include Cinnamon Sticks, Star Anise, Lotus Seeds, Garlics, Dried Red Chilies, Red Beans, Green Beans, Corns etc - really beautiful :

Now, let me show you the close-up views of the Spices Souvenir Magnets :

Hey could you guess what are the following items? Well, yea I know, you must be saying yea of course they’re Candies & Chewing Gums & Cookies & Spices & Popcorns & Bottlecaps & Seashells etc etc……

Hey you’re not wrong at all cos they really are the so-called what you’ve just mentioned their names, & they’re genuine ones okie!! But just that they’re not edible, well, at least for now not before they were made into Hair Clips……heheh….yea they’re Thai Handcrafted Hair Clips you read rightly!!

Amazing but absolutely true!!

Well, first let me show you my genunie Cookies Hair Clips :

These Cookies remind me very much of my childhood days when I used to eat the same type of Cookies though not like these single ones, but 2 of which are sandwiched together with Pineapple Jam which is kinda sticky & would get stuck in-between our tiny teeths upon eating - but those Pineapple Sandwiched Cookies were so heavenly delicious they were our whole wide world then!!

And trust me, these Cookies, though now made into Hair Clips, still smell slightly like the original edible Cookies that they used to be!! Hmm…….I’m suddenly so hungry now……….wish I can bite into these Cookies now……………

Now, here are all my multi-flavoured Sweets Hair Clips - & the Sweets are all real ones okie, just that they’re no longer edible now that they’ve been made into Hair Clips!! And believe me, these genuine Sweets Hair Clips don ever rot or melt at all, nor attract ants, cos I’d had been wearing one many many times since last December when I bought one here in Chiang Mai!!

Orange, Banana, Pineapple, Strawberry & Coconut flavoured Sweets Hair Clip :

Which flavour would you like to try? Coconut, Strawberry, Orange, Pineapple or Coco Cola flavour?? Haha, I’m just thinking whether these sweets can be easily found in the Candies stores in Thailand?! Cos I’d love to try each & every flavours & have a taste of how my Sweets Hair Clips used to taste like!!

Or would you like to have Pinepple, Coconut, Coca Cola, Orange or Banana flavour from here below? Well, actually they’re all of the same few flavours except that they’re mixed & combined differently on each Hair Clip - but in whichever combination, they all look lovely together!!

See the below Orange flavoured Sweet with its bottom wrapper slightly torn - that’s real genuine ha heheh!!

Here below is my most unique & special Japanese Candies - Crayon Shin Chan Hair Clip. Crayon Shin Chan is a Japanese Comics & Animation Series written by Yoshito Usui. I just adore Shin Chan the Cartoon character so much - isn’t he so adorable ha?!!
