2025 San Kamphaeng Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Bo Sang Umbrella Village, the most popular umbrella-making center in northern Chiang Mai, is renowned for its hand-painted paper umbrellas. Similar to the Hakka oil-paper umbrellas of Meinong, these umbrellas are made with bamboo frames and mulberry bark, and are adorned with vibrant patterns, all crafted entirely by hand, making them highly artistic. However, traditional craftsmanship is also in decline, and the number of tourists visiting Bo Sang Umbrella Village seems to be gradually decreasing. Fortunately, Chiang Mai hosts a grand oil-paper umbrella festival every January, during which Bo Sang Umbrella Village becomes the liveliest. Visitors can see beautiful women in traditional costumes holding paper umbrellas, showcasing the beautiful paper umbrella culture. A typical day trip to the outskirts of Chiang Mai usually includes Bo Sang Umbrella Village, Inthanon Farm, and the Hundred-Year Happiness Village, where you can also savor authentic northern Thai cuisine.

Chamcha Market is a small weekend-only handicraft market located a bit far from Chiang Mai's city center, about a 20-minute drive from the Old City. Due to its smaller scale, it attracts fewer tourists, making it a comfortable place to stroll around without the crowds. The market primarily features handmade crafts such as woven items, embroidery, and painted goods. Each stall offers unique and non-repetitive items, mostly with a Thai style and good quality. It's a treasure trove for those who love handmade crafts. The market is covered with rain shelters and decorated with curtains, giving it a full artsy vibe. If you get tired, you can find a restaurant to rest or grab a cup of coffee. Overall, this market provides a very leisurely experience, allowing you to take your time exploring.

#2024 Travel Review ฉำฉา Chamcha Market A very interesting handmade market in Chiang Mai, starting from the ancient city and heading east in the small Mon community of Loang Him Kao. There is a weekend market that is about 30 minutes drive from the city center, and there are many various specialty restaurants and cafes around. Chamcha Market is small, with less than 30 stalls, mainly handmade clothes grocery bags jewelry, the goods are quite exquisite overall, especially if you like dyeing, fabric and ethnic style, can buy. Many stall owners are residents of the village, selling authentic food, but more humanity, cheaper and less tourists. Although not as big as Jing Jai Market, there are other options that are good. Finally, I would like to remind everyone again ~ this place is only open every Saturday and Sunday!

Another small but lovely cafe with a warm feeling, located in San Kamphaeng area. The shop is located at the entrance of the village. They serve drinks, steaks, spaghetti, salads, and one-dish meals. Importantly, the shop grows its own vegetables. They use salad vegetables for cooking. This is another cafe that is beautiful for taking pictures and has a classic feel. 🎯 : 50/10 Road 1317, Sai Mun Subdistrict, San Kamphaeng District, Chiang Mai 50130 ⏰️ : Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ☎️ : 064 256 4529 #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #SanKamphaeng #ChiangMai #trip #tripmoments #CafeReview

Ban Nong Khong, San Kamphaeng District, Chiang Mai is a village that is the origin of the production of floating lanterns with local wisdom that has been passed down for over 100 years. Lanna people will use lanterns in the Yi Peng festival, the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month because they believe that the light from the lanterns will help shine to lead a prosperous and happy life. But nowadays, lanterns are used in many ways, such as decorating hotels, resorts, temples, or government and private offices to create a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere in the Lanna style. Therefore, this village produces lanterns all year round, not just during Loi Krathong. Every year before Loi Krathong, there are many orders for lanterns, so this village has a traditional event to show and demonstrate how to make lanterns. There are lanterns in cute shapes and lanterns made from recycled materials. Or if anyone is interested in learning how to make lanterns, there are free lessons here. Come visit or try making lanterns all year round. I highly recommend it. #Get a discount without relying on luck #ReviewChiangMai #ChiangMai #WhereToGoChiangMai #ChiangMaiWorthVisiting #ChiangMaiCheckInPoints

Chamcha Market ตลาดฉำฉา Weekend-Only Daytime Hipster Market Due to its slightly remote location from Chiang Mai city center and the fact that most people opt for the larger JingJai Market, this market doesn't attract many tourists. It's very convenient to get here by car from the Nimman area or the Old City of Chiang Mai, even if you haven't rented a scooter. There are plenty of parking spaces, making it easy for those driving themselves. The market can be roughly divided into two areas. The first area, which you encounter upon arrival, features a small section of clothes, accessories, and handmade items. I consider this area as an appetizer. As you go further inside, you'll find more handmade goods. In my opinion, the items sold here are more refined than those at the night markets, and you won't have to worry about seeing the same designs everywhere since they are produced in limited quantities. The market also has restaurants and coffee shops where you can take a break. 13, 16 Moo 2 Soi 11, San Klang, San Kamphaeng District, Chiang Mai 50130, Thailand

#Art MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, Chiang Mai is a museum for displaying contemporary art and artworks that the Bunnag family has collected for more than 30 years. It is also a space for other artists to hold exhibitions. This museum was started by Jean-Michel Berdelay and Eric Bunnag Booze, his sons, who wanted to share their 30-year collection of contemporary art with the public and wanted people to have easier access to art, whether they were artists, art students, or even the general public. To pass on their inspiration, the couple started this museum project. The first thing we encountered when we entered the exhibition area was an exhibition room that told the biography of Chao Chom Aiem Bunnag, the royal concubine of King Chulalongkorn, through various pieces of art. Eric Bunnag Booze intended to create it to dedicate to his great-grandmother, which is also the origin of the name of this museum. The word ‘Mai’ refers to Chiang Mai Province, while the word ‘Aiem’ comes from the name of Chao Chom Aiem Bunnag. In the same area, there is also a movie screening room, which the museum has a project to screen alternative films that may be hard to find in the future. After walking around and seeing all parts of the museum, what we clearly noticed was the simplicity of the space, which is not decorated in any way other than each piece of art. This is one of the core values ​​of this museum. “The main idea is that the architecture must not overpower the artwork. When we go to some museums abroad, we get annoyed that we see the building more than the artwork. As an architect, we get annoyed because we think that some artwork is much cooler than that. The architecture should be a place that makes the artwork or artistic activities stand out. This is what both the owner and us want,” concluded Phi Aon. For us, the design of this building is not just about not overpowering the artwork. But this architecture, designed by a true art lover, would not be an exaggeration to be considered another piece of art.

Cham Cha Market is a craft market that is only open every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm. It is located in San Kamphaeng District, on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. There are many shops selling handmade crafts. It is very popular with people who want to buy cute, high-quality goods and clothes! It is fun even just to look around!

This is a weekend market held on weekends. The town of San Kamphaeng is about a 30-minute drive from Chiang Mai Airport. The weekend market in this tranquil town is bustling with locals. I think it would be fun to wander around and sample the local food.

Have you ever felt bored with city life? And wanted to live with nature? Sometimes, Uncle Aun also has this feeling. Wanting to go far away, farm, grow rice, like a farmer, haha. But sometimes life is not that easy. But for the shop that I will recommend today, a young man with a degree from abroad, full of energy, but after graduating, he came back to Thailand, grew rice, became a full-time farmer, and created a cute coffee shop surrounded by nature in the style of a rice field at Chiangmai Rice Life, not far from San Kamphaeng District. Chiangmai Rice Life is a small coffee shop ☕️ that if anyone enters, they will feel like they have escaped to another world. Because this is a coffee shop with a beautiful resort atmosphere, surrounded by green rice fields (during the rice planting period). The atmosphere is very natural. The shop is located in San Kamphaeng District. If we come from the city, drive along the old San Kamphaeng Road, straight ahead, you will see the alley to Ban Siladon Restaurant (on the left) or the alley to Chiangmai Ruean Pae 1 Restaurant. Drive in for about 3 kilometers, you will see Ban Mon School on the right. And there will be Soi Ban Mon, Soi 6. Drive to the end of the alley and you will find Chiangmai Rice Life.

Today, we are visiting San Kamphaeng District. Driving along, we will find a tourist attraction called Huai Lan Reservoir, located in the mountains not far from the main road. Driving in, we will see a large expanse of water. It is a tourist attraction of Chiang Mai Province that many people know and love nature. You can sit and relax by the water, watch the sunset, or go fishing, rowing a boat at the reservoir, go swimming, or go camping. Breathe in the cool, refreshing air. If it is a little hot during the day, set up an umbrella, set up a tent, and cool down.
