We had an art class here and it was excellent. Chai guided us to complete whichever style art we liked and it was very relaxing and enjoyable. His artwork is phenomenal! A real range of work..abstract and intricate mythical paintings too. Very talented.

Wow what a find. This place is just down the road from my house and I visit here a lot. They have a range of shops with local products along with a cute and cosy massage shop and an amazing vegan restaurant. Not only this, but the manager, Jo, has an art gallery and you often see him painting throughout the day. If you like a local community garden, check this place out for sure.

I love the walking streets. There less packed now. I just stroll about and look at people and things. If your not in a hurry it's a great way to spend and evening. Of this is your first time make sure to check out the silver temple. It's wonderous at night.

Absolute love this place. Centrally located in Old Chiang Mai city. At the Westgate which is called Taipei gate. I had the Phad Thai. It was super yummy. The artwork inside init wall design was a great concept. There is 2 or 3 levels in which you can eat and chill out. I recommend to any tourist or local in Chiang Mai city.

Definitely more of a modern take to a night market. There's modern stalls set up and a wide cafeteria type area with lots of fusion type foods. There's also lots of 'hipster' type local shops in the area that are worth exploring! There are really cool handmade items and other little souvenirs that are more unique.
Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be slightly different.

Gem of a find! Must see for those interested in contemporary art. The owner Noomnim was very friendly and helpful. If you like art and Thai hospitality this is a must see while in Chiang Mai!
