Chiang Mai, the ‘Rose of the North’, is known by a few other names. As ‘cultural heartland’, the city is home to numerous temples and host of vibrant festivals. As ‘creative city’, the city has plenty of crafts villages to show for. As ‘hipster paradise’, there is Nimmanhaemin Road (‘Nimman’ for short), home to several hipster refuel stations – coffee shops. Try the brew served in a skull shaped-glass at the cult concept cafe Ristr8to. Taste the beans of Chiang Mai at Wawee, or enjoy the combination of brew and books at Libarista.
The newest hipster hangout is One Nimman, home to homegrown coffee shops including Graph Café and Nine One Coffee, as well as the rebirth of The Booksmith bookstore. When you’ve re-energized, visit the cool boutiques and art galleries tucked away in the lanes off the main strip, such as Gallery Seescape Gallery down soi 1.
