No matter how many times I come here, I always like the atmosphere, which is easily accessible. There is still nature to enjoy. There might be some traffic jams in the moat, but it's not a big deal because I walk a lot. This time, I walked 7 kilometers, walking around the moat to relieve boredom. #VisitChiangMai #ChiangMaiRainySeason

The shop is decorated in a Japanese minimalist style, focusing on wood and natural light, giving a clean, airy and comfortable feeling. We came to get a neck, shoulder and back massage with a light massage of balm. Let me tell you, it was super comfortable! The staff were very skilled, the weight was just right and they paid great attention to detail. At the end of the massage, they also gave us a small bottle of balm to take home as a souvenir. I was so impressed that I don't need to say much. 🧖🏻♀️ Another thing I like is the quietness and cleanliness of the shop. Everything looks simple but stylish and is really suitable for relaxation.

#ChiangmaiTravel ⸻ This breakfast restaurant is called "Saneha" and is one of the hottest trends right now. Anyone who comes to Chiang Mai must stop by because the queue is very long. You have to wait since morning. 🌞🍳 We tried it ourselves and ordered classic menus such as fried eggs and American fried rice. The taste is delicious and simple but very chic. Served on a vintage green plate with the word "Chiang Mai" in the middle — just take a picture of the plate and you'll get a picture to post on IG. 📸✨ The iced tea we ordered was not too sweet, fragrant and refreshing. Eating it with breakfast is the best. The shop is decorated in a vintage-retro Thai style. The green tone contrasts with wood and a little antique decoration. It's charmingly chic, just like the name "Saneha". 🪴 Another cool thing is that during the day it's a breakfast restaurant. At night, it changes into a small, minimalist bar with dim lights and soft music. Chillers will love it. 📍 The location is in Chiang Mai city, not far from Wat Phra Singh. You can stop by before your trip. ⏰ Open from morning until night — Early in the morning, we recommend you come early because the tables fill up very quickly! ⸻ For those who love cafes, atmosphere, or those who love to eat good breakfast and take beautiful photos, “Saneha” is one of the restaurants you should definitely pin on your map. 🌿🍽️💚 #ChiangMaiRestaurant #WhereToGoInChiangMai

#ChiangmaiTravel I had the opportunity to chill out at a small but warm cafe in the heart of Chiang Mai called Eleven Pillar Site, located in Soi Thapae Road. The atmosphere of the shop is decorated in a homey style, simple but warm. It is another peaceful corner that is suitable for relaxing on a relaxing day. We ordered a medium roast Americano - a well-rounded taste, fragrant without having to add anything, easy to drink and very refreshing. The more I sipped it while listening to soft music in the shop, the more I felt time slowly flowing by melodiously. For anyone who comes to Chiang Mai and wants to find a cafe that is not chaotic, has some privacy and has very good coffee, I recommend this shop. 🍂 ⸻ #Must-visit cafe #Cafe with a cozy atmosphere #Chiang Mai

🍞 Shu Pan 💕🏠 @shupan.cnx 📍 Tambon Chang Moi, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Mai⏱️ Toast with custard. We like pandan custard. It's fragrant, delicious, and not too sweet. But they also have Thai tea custard. It goes well with the shop's drinks to cut the sourness. Or if you want to order other menus, you can choose. Or you can order toasted Marshmello. Easy to get to, you can park on the side of the road. But watch the traffic light. The shop opens from 17.45-23.15_______________________________________#cafechiangmai #cafereview #chiangmaicafe #chiangmaireview #chiangmaicafereview #reviewchiangmai #cafe #coffee #chiangmai #thaphae #cafereview #cafereview

Located on Tha Phae Road in the heart of Chiang Mai, "Kiti Panit" is a Lanna-style restaurant housed in a 130-year-old teakwood mansion. The building has been beautifully renovated by the fifth-generation descendants of the family, and it was once the first department store in Chiang Mai. Today, it is even featured in the Michelin Guide, making it a highly recommended dining destination. I ordered Nam Prik Ong (Northern Thai chili dip), Khao Soi (curry noodle soup), steamed egg custard with fish, pork satay, and spicy pork rib soup. The flavors were excellent, and the total cost was 1,300 THB, which I found reasonable.
