Chiang Mai Old Town Recommended Travel Course 1
Here are some recommended courses near North Gate, north of Chiang Mai Old Town, with a quiet sensibility.
1. Fern Forest Cafe
- A beautiful cafe with a pond and a garden filled with lush trees and plants. The plants are so fresh that it feels like you've found an oasis in the hot Chiang Mai, and your mind feels at peace as soon as you arrive.
There are various drinks including coffee, brunch menus, cakes, desserts, and other simple things to eat, so it's a good place to visit for a meal or a coffee time after a meal. This cafe was especially popular with Europeans.
However, there are mosquitoes and flies in the outdoor space with plants, so it can be a little uncomfortable. There are tables in the pretty white marble building, so if you're sensitive to bugs, you can take a rest indoors while enjoying the cool air conditioning.
2. Temples Wat Lok Moli, Wat Rajamontean
- There are many large and small temples in Chiang Mai, but if you're in the North Gate area, I recommend this place. The two temples face each other with a saddle. It was sunset time, and the scenery was really beautiful with the beautiful roof, unique architecture, giant Buddha statue, Hyeja, and red sky. It's great for taking great pictures with the exotic scenery as the background.
Even if you're not a Buddhist, take a look around the temple and make a wish in your heart. Although I'm not religious, I felt purified after praying for the health and happiness of my family in the peaceful temple.
3. Chang Phuak Market
There's a night market on the North Gate side, but it's not in the picture. You can taste various foods and have a quick snack here.
4. The North Gate Jazz Co-Op
It's a shame to just go in on a cool summer night, right? There's a famous jazz bar nearby. Performances start on each floor from 4-5 p.m., so you can enjoy the performances according to your schedule even if you don't go there on time. They also sell goods on the first floor, so if you like jazz, it's a good place to buy souvenirs. I arrived a little early, around 5 o'clock, and enjoyed the performance on the 4th floor while drinking a cold beer. When I left around 7 o'clock, another performance was taking place on the 1st floor. The price of alcohol is a bit expensive, but there is no separate admission fee, so if you think that the seat fee and performance fee are included in the alcohol, it is quite reasonable. I hesitated because I don't know much about jazz, but it is easy to enjoy, so visit without any burden. The night in Chiang Mai flows like that, immersed in the charming live music of the passionate band.
This is the recommended course for the northern part of Chiang Mai Old Town!
