It’s not the tower that people come for, it’s the market. Starting in the afternoon, booths get set up with prepared local foods, raw veggies and meats, drinks and smoothies, and other local fare. I came back each day to get some food which was the best authentic northern Thai food I’ve had.

From later afternoon, The junction around the old Clock Tower becomes an open air food market where both fresh (raw) produce and ready to eat meals can be purchased at very reasonable prices. It seems to target Thai people, on their way home from work and who are after a quick an easy meal solution for the family dinner. From my experience, this is one of the best places in Thailand to try local, authentically produced food where it is possible to order by pointing at what you want (avoiding mispronunciations)
Old clock tower is just next to local wet market. Good landmark. Easy to find it.
This clock tower in center Chiang Rai city ,, if you stay near it is good location
The (Kodak) clock tower itself is laid back. Around the clock tower is always activity. Really around the clock! Different kinds of markets. Especially around sunset you can have a wide selection of (ready made) food. A must visit!
This is the original city clock tower. Has no idea when it was build. Seem like it was there in the city center for age. since I came to Chiang Rai. It was build by Rotary International & sponsor (or build or donatred) by Kodek. Logo of Kodek on the clock dial, Rotary International below the clock face. No idea who build the refurbished the new clovk control. Like this original city clock tower over the new one (look too weird). This Is the clock tower when I came to Chiang Rai. It has great sentimental value for many of of us and local, I think some expat too feel the same.
In the evening you have good steet food
Best at night as it is well illuminated. Nearby are several cafes, restaurants and pubs to explore.
