If you want to explore with confidence, to craft an unique experience for yourself, whether you are traveling alone or with family, this is the map for you.
Imagine if someone had done all your online destination research for you and presented it on paper for much faster and deeper review of your options. No zooming in and out, no multiple links to click on. That is what our small team has done. We've walked or driven down almost every street on our map to see what is actually there. As we have been doing since 1980.
Nancy Chandler's Map of Chiang Mai is the most content rich guide to the northern Thai cultural city, designed for visitors and expatriates with unique listings you would be unlikely to find online.
Personalize your stay in the city by adding a craft workshop or farming experience, attending a lecture, or taking a few Thai boxing classes. Popular cooking and massage courses are also included. If into art films, schedule an evening at one of the regular indie cinema nights. Pub crawls are suggested for those so inclined, cool rooftop bars too, and high end dining and drinking for those eager to splurge on something special. For digital nomads, we've included co-working spaces. For those with children, more family-friendly fun options. For those concerned about ethical animal tourism, we've outlined key things to consider before booking a day trip to an elephant sanctuary. Foodies will love the wide range of options now available in Chiang Mai (searching online for the most popular ones won't give you the same overview of all to choose from). Vegetarian and vegan cafes have multiplied too. For shoppers, you ll find artsy gift shops and neat charity-linked boutiques. Craft beer and fine cocktail lovers won't be bored, new well-stocked bars dotting the map.
The map includes detailed guides to the Night Bazaar and the backstreets of Warorot Market (Chiang Mai's Chinatown) as well as the Old Town, Greater Chiang Mai, and Out-of-Town Trips. It is accompanied by an 88 page directory to help guide you to all the city offers, including restaurant phone numbers and recommendations.
