Rumor had it that this could be done at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitchiangmai.com.au\/sunday_market.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chiang Mai&#8217;s famous Sunday Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guess who&#8217;s going to a market?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At about 4 o&#8217;clock&nbsp;Peter &amp; I walked out the front door of our hotel, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/the-3-sis-vacation-lodge.html?aid=1250897&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">3 Sis<\/a>, and the Chiang Mai&#8217;s Sunday Night Walking Market was just a few steps ahead, on the blocked off street.&nbsp;This market is the&nbsp;grand daddy of all the ones in the city, known to showcase the art, craftsmanship and food culture of Northern Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-533ab048\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-533ab048\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7003-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" title=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7003-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/06\/IMG_7003-800x533-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, there were a lot more things to do besides just eating insects.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We had arrived early enough for the booths to still be in setup phase and not many people shopping&#8230;yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was an initial sensory overload, with colorful booths on each side of you. Shopping was quite difficult for my indecisive self, because I didn&#8217;t want to buy anything before I had first explored the entire market.&nbsp;Though I did spot some&nbsp;large beach bags, silver hair clips and wooden coffee cups with saucers, that were on my radar for the second go around.&nbsp;But, by the time I got through browsing the seemingly endless length of the streets, and was ready to make some purchases, the prime opportunity had passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-97eba2bd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-97eba2bd\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7001-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" title=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7001-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/06\/IMG_7001-800x533-300x199.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;The road was wall-to-wall people.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I did wind up squeezing through the&nbsp;crowd to purchase a half dozen of unique smelling soaps including a Citronella one that I hoped would ward off the pesky Chiang Mai mosquitoes. <em>FYI: That didn&#8217;t work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What wasn&#8217;t overcrowded was the bee-bee gun shooting station. Why not? Never having had the opportunity to shoot a bee-bee gun before, I stepped right up to see if I could hit the bulls-eye. <em>Nope<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we walked away from our shooting experience,&nbsp;I saw them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insects, discreetly lying on a table.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-f41be7e5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-f41be7e5\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7091-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" title=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7091-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/06\/IMG_7091-800x533-300x199.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You could hear chattering from the dozen of gawkers surrounding the booth, &#8220;eww&#8221;, &#8220;you try it&#8221;, &#8220;gross, I&#8217;m not&nbsp;eating insects&#8221;.&nbsp; Most of the people actually purchasing the insects were not locals, they were&nbsp;adventurous tourists looking for a new experience, much like myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All sorts of varieties of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Whirligig_beetle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">edible bugs<\/a>&nbsp;were there; crickets, cicada, mealworms&nbsp;and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Whirligig_beetle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whirligig beetles<\/a>. How do I choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I opted for the insect sampler pack for 20 baht ($0.65 usd), a little of each. I like variety.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I ate a small&nbsp;mealworm first, which tasted like a salty, uncheesed cheese puff. Acceptable. Feeling confident, I grabbed a big cricket. As I bit into it I ended up being more freaked out about eating the crunchy leg than the actual bland&nbsp;taste. <em>And<\/em> as I chewed more of the body, it only got worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Done.&nbsp;Bugs aren&#8217;t tasty.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At least I&nbsp;made a&nbsp;couple of&nbsp;checks off my <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/bucket-list-of-23-edible-bugs-around-the-world\/\">Bucket List of 23 Edible Bugs Around the World<\/a>.&nbsp;It&#8217;s all about moderation, when it comes to my bug eating adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I needed something to wash down my crunchy cricket. I think a leg was stuck in my throat. So, I&nbsp;ordered an intriguing drink&nbsp;that was being sold all over the market, but I had yet to try, a Grass Jelly Milo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grass Jelly is a jiggly jelly-like dessert that is used in making Bubble Tea and Milo is a chocolate and malt powder. Shake, stir and a Grass Jelly Milo is born.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-dc363d10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-dc363d10\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7082-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" title=\"Chiang Mai Sunday Market\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_7082-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/06\/IMG_7082-533x800-199x300.jpg.webp 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It did the trick. No legs in my throat anymore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Because we couldn&#8217;t survive on eating insects alone, there was other interesting&nbsp;street food to be had. Who could resist a&nbsp;waffle with shredded pork and mayonnaise? Apparently me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">What I couldn&#8217;t resist was a Pandan leaf flavored cotton candy cone and a bamboo cup&nbsp;filled with fresh coconut juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is eating insects on your bucket list?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-edb82fe8\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ea27839a gb-headline-text\">Traveling Soon?
