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.

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.

Hey Mark, thank you for making such great videos!
Thanks so much for these tips. I'll be there in a week!!
I love your enthusiasm for the food!
Mark you should get a TV show on discovery channel
I adore the joy you express on first bites. It makes me giggle every time!
Your are my idol 5555
As always, great video Mark ! keep it up !
That the stall I usually go for the pork rib. It is very tasty. This market can get almost anything. Good job Mark. But after this video, we might have to queue longer for the food. 555.
That pork looked like schnitzel. Amazed to see that where ever you go in the world we have a lot in common with food.
Gotta love the guy in green in the background at 1:54 – 1:57 picking his nose. Cracked me up!
Love video! Food looks delicious!
I don't eat any animal products of any kind.. Would you say it's difficult to find and vegetarian/vegan dishes in the foreign countries you visit? I plan to travel to many Asian countries but I'm not sure if I'd survive. Would you be interested in reviewing vegan and vegetarian dishes for us that choose not to eat meat? You are doing an amazing job and my twin and I love to watch your videos! (:
Oh you tempt me every week. I'd love to return to South East Asia, I may need to start planning a trip to Vietnam.
LOL the escalator! Great market. I love walking through them here in Korea too.
My next trip to Thailand will cover Hua Hin, Koh Pahagan, Hat Yai, Phuket, Udon Thani. Do you have any video here of these places. I know you have one of Hua Hin (This is the place you had the THB 1500 Lobster) if i am not mistaken.
Nice market, I actually prefer going to the market early in the morning before sunrise, most active time of the day in a market. Thailand should do away with these polythene bags its takes 400 years for those to decompose
love thailand!!!
that shirt! hahaha so much awesome-ness in this channel
though im a vegan ( i'm so glad there's some videos from you that caters to it ) , i found your food travel so fascinating and educational!
much love!
Picture quality is amazing, so clear, it must be in HD on what ever camera you're using.
Love the tour of the market, lovely baskets. Mark, you have truly found your calling in eating food, but mainly Thai.
hi mark, wororot market has been a favorite of mine for years. first time i've seen a video of it. good work. i'll be in chiang mai end of oct. hope i see you wandering around. would love to pick your brain in regards to northern thai food. do you do this for fun or business? patrick
This brings back memories! I was in Chiang Mai in 2008, and participated in a Thai cooking class, and we did the pre-class shopping in this market. Thanks for your continued great work!
Yummy! I want to go to Thailand and eat everything you show! Wow! Neato music! What is it? Can I download it? Get it on You Tube?
Come to Rayong, mark! Good seafood and chill atmosphere. It's Like Pataya but more fruits, and less crowded.
Hi Mark, love your videos! Always amazing! 🙂 I am from South Africa, hope that you will come here soon and try out South African Indian food. It's got a really different spin on it. Meal to try: Mutton Bunny! Also the African food is quiet nice. Anyway keep up the awesome work 🙂
@Mark Wiens Wow Mark that sausage looks super good! A little fatty but definitely looks like it's worth a try! I would chow down on that for sure!
Yup that market is dope!
is the traffic bad like thailand?
