The map below shows the location of Thakawee’s family’s home & business in Chiang Mai. When we’re in Chiang Mai this is where we stay. We can highly recommend staying in this part of town; it is not a busy, “touristy” area, yet it has plenty of amenities close by, and is an easily manageable walk or taxi/tuk-tuk ride to markets, the old city, tourist attractions, etc. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and bars in the area. There is the Western-style Rimping Supermarket and other Western food options.
