Nightlife in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Bars, Pubs, Restaurants, AGoGo and other Nightlife in Chiang Mai.

Many people disbelieve that Chiang Mai in north Thailand has Nightlife. Compared to the Party strongholds like Phuket or Pattaya they are right, here in Chiang Mai is the Night Life much quieter and with a bit more relaxer! But here at the “Capital of the North” are many possibilities to go out, clubbing or date a Bar Girl in one of Chiangmai’s numerous Dance Clubs, Pubs, Lady Bars, Karaoke Clubs and A GoGo Bars. The biggest Nightlife scene offers the area between Tha Pae gate and the Night Bazaar in the east of the city moat of Chiang Mai in Thailand. There are some nice locations for dancing, meet young Thai ladies or just drink a beer and listen to good live music in an unforced atmosphere.

Old Chiang Mai, inside the Moat:
Inside the moat are some great Pubs, Bars and Beer gardens which are worthwhile for a visit after dark. Mostly every Guest House of Chiang Mai has as well a small Pub, Beer garden or Restaurant where you can drink Beers and meet likes minded Backpacker and Traveler. Good Hostels with Beer garden are “The Garden GH” and “Baan Lansa GH” on the Ratchadumnern Road. If you’re looking for nightlife inside the moat than should be the Pub scene on the Ratchaphakinai Road the right choice for a pleasant evening in Chiang Mai. On the intersection to the Ratwithi Road is a courtyard with many small but comfy music Pubs with Live Music till late at Night. “Café Del Sol” and “Heaven Beach Bar” are great possibilities to overlap a Night with some Chang Beers, Cocktails and live band in old Chiang Mai. For great Cocktails and selected Wines with style I can recommend the “Kafe Del Klang Wiang” Bar and Restaurant near Wat Phan Ang. If don’t get enough Party than is the 24 hours Pub “Blue Sky” a nice alternative to go to bed.
