Suggested areas to stay
rooozt splits this destination into 3 areas — curated and written by the rooozt team, not scraped or scored.
Nimman
Chiang Mai's hippest neighbourhood, packed with well-designed cafes, international restaurants and coworking spaces — you can walk all day without repeating a spot. It is the popular base for workation travellers and digital nomads.
Old City
The neighbourhood inside the old city walls, full of ancient temples, the Tha Phae walking street, and guesthouses ranging from budget to luxury. It suits people who want to explore temples and markets on foot without a car.
Ping Riverside
The Ping riverside feels calmer than the Old City, with river-view restaurants, boutique hotels and small resorts. It suits couples and anyone who wants somewhere pretty and quiet that is still close to the Old City.
