One Nimman
A chic open-air lifestyle complex adjacent to Maya Mall on Nimmanhaemin Road. One Nimman features curated independent boutiques, craft beer bars, specialty coffee roasters, and a weekend pop-up market. The illuminated outdoor courtyards and relaxed atmosphere make it a favourite gathering spot for Chiang Mai's creative community on weekend evenings.
Nimmanhaemin Road
Chiang Mai's trendiest and most cosmopolitan street, lined with independent specialty coffee shops, boutique design stores, galleries, and fusion restaurants. Soi 1 through Soi 17 each has its own character. The area is most lively on weekend evenings when the terrace cafés overflow and local musicians play on street corners. Best coffee scene in all of Thailand.
Maya Lifestyle Shopping Centre
The most modern and upscale shopping mall in Chiang Mai, located at the top of Nimmanhaemin Road. Maya's 6 floors house international fashion brands, a 4-screen cinema multiplex, an excellent food hall on the ground floor, and a rooftop terrace with mountain views. Popular with CMU students, expats, and tourists staying in the Nimman area.
Ton Payom Market
The beloved 'Student Market' near Chiang Mai University where locals shop for organic produce, healthy snacks, and freshly cooked Northern Thai dishes at the lowest prices in the city. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the best time — look for fresh-pressed fruit juices, traditional Kanom Jeen noodles, coconut sticky rice, and herbal drinks.
CMU Art Museum Sunday Market
Not to be confused with the city's Sunday Walking Street, this sprawling weekend flea market fills the Chiang Mai University Art Museum grounds every Sunday morning. Antique dealers, vintage clothing vendors, student artists, jewellery makers, and organic food producers create a relaxed, authentic market atmosphere far removed from the tourist trail. Breakfast options are outstanding.
