KHLONG MAE KHA

The Mae Kha canal (khlong) is a small tributary of the Ping River that runs through Chiang Mai. The area was previously neglected and most famous for its pollution and litter... This part of the canal was completely rehabilitated at the end of 2022 and has become one of the city's must-see spots. Along its 750-meter length, craft and souvenir stores, small restaurants and cafés line either side of the canal. The area is particularly photogenic, with its small Japanese-style bridge and numerous lanterns.
