As people and businesses are now adapting to the New Normal, a market at Chiang Mai University has opened the “New Normal Market” with social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, while providing free retail space for vendors affected by the pandemic.



Chiang Mai University’s Kad Angkaew market opens on Wednesday with the New Normal measures, where all visitors must clean their hands have their temperature taken upon entry.

Everyone is required to wear a face mask, while the market is limiting the capacity to no more than 200 people at a time. Shoppers and vendors are encouraged to make and receive payments online using their mobile phone, to avoid using cash.
