Local Attractions

• Wat Phra Singh: Located just a 10-minute drive from the hotel, this 14th-century temple in Chiang Mai’s Old City is home to the revered Phra Singh Buddha image and features stunning traditional Lanna architecture, intricate murals, and quiet, leafy courtyards perfect for quiet reflection.
• Nimmanhaemin Road Walking Street: Held every Saturday evening just steps from the hotel’s doorstep, this open-air market features handcrafted local goods, designer clothing, street food stalls serving northern Thai specialties like khao soi and sai oua, and live folk music.

Travel Tips

If you plan to explore the area by scooter, book parking in advance with a nearby private lot to avoid weekend street parking shortages during the Nimman walking street. The apartment’s kitchenette makes it easy to grab fresh mango and sticky rice from the local morning market and store leftovers, so don’t hesitate to overorder at street stalls. When visiting nearby temples, pack a lightweight shawl to cover shoulders and knees—you can pick one up for a few dollars at the on-site mini-mart if you forget. For digital nomads, the hotel’s free WiFi is stable enough for remote work, and there are dozens of coworking spaces and coffee shops within a 5-minute walk. Grab a grab taxi or red songthaew from the main Nimman road to reach the Old City in under 15 minutes for less than 100 THB.
