For more details about visiting Warorot Market (ตลาดวโรรส) in Chiang Mai, go here: http://migrationology.com/2014/08/warorot-market-chiang-mai/
Warorot Market (ตลาดวโรรส), and Ton Lamyai Market (ตลาดต้นลำใย), which is located right across the street, is one of the most famous central markets in Chiang Mai. It’s always bustling, and there’s always lots of walk around and see, and plenty of things to eat. I enjoy walking around the outside of the markets, where you can find all sorts of fresh produce and street shopping, probably better than inside the actual market - but either way, walking around the markets is something you should check out when you’re in Chiang Mai.
Within Warorot Market (ตลาดวโรรส) is a famous food stall, known as Dam Rong (ดำรงค์), that serves both northern Thai sausage and deep fried pork. It’s a very popular local food stall, and it’s also a common place for Thai Bangkok visitors to go and buy some food to bring back home to Bangkok.
Actually, at first I wasn’t going to eat at Dam Rong (ดำรงค์), I didn’t want to wait in line - you’ll know you found Dam Rong (ดำรงค์) because there’s almost always a line and a crowd of people standing around - both tourists and local Thais. Finally though, after walking around Warorot Market (ตลาดวโรรส) for a few minutes, and smelling the fried pork, we had no choice but to try it for ourselves.
After buying a bag of meat, I started with the sai ua (northern Thai sausage ไส้อั่ว). It was less flavorful, with much less lemongrass, and chilies, and galangal, than other sai ua that I really love. So overall, it wasn’t my favorite, but it was served nice and piping hot, and if you really love porky sausage, it was really good. I did like it, but I prefer the more strong herb sausage better. Moving on to the fried pork (หมูทอด), which is called moo tod in Thai, it was absolutely stunner. This was not the typical style of Thai fried pork which is usually marinated in a sweet soy sauce and then deep fried in bite sized pieces. Instead, this was almost like a pork steak, battered in a light batter and nicely salted and peppery. The pork was extremely tender, and the meat was flavorful - I loved the fried pork much more than the sausage, and with some sticky rice it was even better.
When you’re in Chiang Mai, one of the things you must do is just spend some time wandering around Warorot Market (ตลาดวโรรส). There’s plenty to see and plenty to eat. You don’t need to go to Dam Rong (ดำรงค์), but if you’re craving some fried pork, you should definitely stop there.

Thank you. I hope you do too. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Chiang Mai. market food video Amazing👍💯😍💖
I have a friend who must moved to Chiang Mai. Is this market considered the mall? He's mentioned a mall so I wonder.
Hi Mark ,,we are going to visit Chiangmai in August …hope to see you there .
Are you sure it's pork sausage ?
Maybe it's dog sausage !
Sai Ua is one of my favorites, I've been craving it for quite a while now LOL. we will go to Chiang Mai again winter 2019/2020 we go just after Christmas and stay after the new year toward the end of January as we did this year but no Chiang Mai trip how ever I had a sai ua at or tor kor market but just didn't seem quite the same but almost. My husband has family in Nong Bua Lamphu outside of Udon Thani so I have a chance to personally get a feel of local life and amazing food. I first had Sai Ua in 2013 when the family and I all drove to Chiang Mai and on the way back, we stopped at a little village and got the sausage plus pork rinds to bring back to Udon. I was hooked since and never thought I would like pork rinds until I tried it there too. I am from the US so it is nice having the change in culture. I also want to visit Europe, it's nice seeing all of your other videos outside of Thailand as well but hope to see more in Thailand 🙂 I love it thank you.
Great info. I will go there soon.
