Things to Do

There are plenty of things to do in Chiang Mai. Most people complain that they've planned their trip to Chiang Mai too short, and are sad to leave.

Chiang Mai has great dining venues, featuring dishes from all over the world. Thai meals are naturally the cheapest, and a must for those who wish to experience the culture. You must be warned that eating from road side stands may not always be very sanitary, and if you risk it, you may spend the rest of your holiday with food poisoning.

Nightlife is very happening in Chiang Mai, in spite of the new laws stating that all bars and discos must close at 1 a.m.

For those who love to shop, Chiang Mai will yet again exceed your expectations when you visit one of the two malls, or you have a stroll through the Night Market or Sunday Market.

Entertainment is in abundance. There are modern movie theatres, and classic Kantoke restaurants featuring traditional Thai dancing.

For relaxation, there are Spas and Massage places all over the city. For more exquite locations, however, you should travel out of the city to find deluxe spa resorts.
