The best bars and cafés Chiang Mai

Part bar, part club, this establishment is the most popular with backpackers and foreign tourists alike. The crowd is rather young, and the music very commercial and loud. The focus is on Zoe in Yellow, which is the best known, but it's really the whole area, where several bars, including Smokey, are concentrated and mingling, as are the crowds, who have come here to have fun in one of Chiang Mai's most festive spots. It's up to you to choose your favorite bar according to the atmosphere! Live music or DJs.

A pleasant address to listen to disco music, pop and the latest American and European hits, while sipping a good beer or a good mojito.

This Thai restaurant is located on the west bank and north-east of the city, that is to say the north of the Warorot market, after the Rama 9 bridge. Very nice location with terrace on the edge of the water; romantic framework; typically Thai atmosphere; evening animation by local musicians. In short, all this is very nice.

Located on the banks of the Nam Ping River, The Good View is one of the most popular places in town with the locals... A real institution in Chiang Mai! On the menu, Thai and international specialities of good quality. During the day, the atmosphere is bucolic, we come here to have lunch along the river and enjoy the view. In the evening, the atmosphere is more electric, good bands come to perform from 7:30 pm. And if you want to dive into the heart of the local culture, go to the karaoke...

This friendly little street-side bar-restaurant is nestled in a small soi in the northeast of the old town. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music hushed, and the clientele varied (expats, locals, young and old). On the menu: excellent Thai and international specialties, and an extensive drinks menu, including happy hour from 6pm to 9pm. But the main reason to come here is to meet new people, chat over a drink or take part in a spirited game of pool. The attentive and welcoming team will make you feel right at home.
