Bazaar outside Mongkhet Myoma Market, Kengtung, Shan State (illustrative)

Kengtung's Central Market on Zeigyo Road is described by Lonely Planet as one of the most fascinating in Myanmar. Sellers include a diverse mix of hill peoples, especially early in the morning. Stalls offer fresh and unusual produce, breakfast dishes, clothes, phones, Thai cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and money changing. Kengtung also runs a traditional five-day market cycle across several markets in town, so what you see depends on the day.
