THIS IS WHY! NIMMAN area in CHIANG MAI, North Thailand/ Nimmanhaemin

Nimman is a fancy area in Chiang Mai. I'd always thought I would never love this place. It's just not for me. But, I have to say, after exploring it more and more I can actually see myself going back here to see more of this area. We started at Maya and went to different places in Nimman aka Nimmanhaemin.

I lived directly across from Maya Mall, on a tiny little side soi behind the Furama hotel. It was a lovely location, very quiet (surprisingly) yet steps away from the Nimman area. A ten minute walk to One Nimman, a quick drive to Chiang Mai University and Thapae Gate. Yeah, there were times when Nimman road itself would be busy with cars and motorbikes and people, but you don't HAVE TO walk along the busy highway. The side sois are cute and quirky too.

[@Chai_Travel]

Great 😃 that’s what I like about Nimman now. That it has it quiet bits and all the hustle and bustle. Loving ALL the sois too. Cheers 🏆

[@aarongoodman2301]

I thing that is the best place, close to everything and with buses across.

[@DikWhite]

Thank you for this fascinating tour of Nlmman, certainly looks like an area I'd love to explore. I love wandering around traditional neighbourhoods but it's also worthwhile visiting somewhere completely different. Great food and coffee options there too.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks Dik. I totally feel you and I have the same when it come to traditional neighborhoods. I did actually enjoy this place as well so I think I’ll be exploring a bit more soon again 😊 cheers. Greeting to Turkey 🙏🏼🏆

[@markshepperson3603]

Nimma is the main road. On every side there are sois with enough to see to make a video per soi.

[@crazyjohn4504]

YEW!!! Nice one Champ. I lived in Maya Mall when I was there early September. The gym's a bit expensive but great and the cinema and I go way back. I love it just for the ramp into and out of the motorbike parking basement. YEW. Get some air on the way out Champ, and Doi Sutthep is just up the mountain.

[@Chai_Travel]

Yew! Thanks Crazy John! Maya’s got it all :p also a great food options inside. I’m sure you’ve experienced that as well. Have a beautiful one!

[@crazyjohn4504]

@@Chai_Travel Sure did Champ, it was good to see you exploring that area a bit. Try and break into the abandoned cinema down the road from Maya mall and explore that for us Champ. I couldn't fucking get in.

Cool! It probably the most developed part of the city 😍 I’d love to have a look in the past if that was possible 😊 cheers Gert

[@japanese2662]

it's more of a place for young Asians.... you know.... old westerners usually stay in the east part of old town.. you know what i am talking about... young westerns mostly enjoy inside the old town....

[@Chai_Travel]

I think I know :) I prefer where the young Asians like to stay 😜

Sweet mate! I’m sure you’ll love Chiang Mai 🤩 the food options in Maya mall is great as well btw 🙏🏼 cheers

[@jamesabroad8589]

Excellent vlog. I did a video a few months ago in that area and found the Chiang Mai university area up the road much more fun. Paid 300 BAHT for a pint of Stella in Nimman which hurt quite a bit too lol. 👍🍺🍾

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks James! Haha yeah 300 baht for pint of anything hurts a bit 😅 haha but I’m glad to hear you made it up there as wel champ 🏆 cheers!

That means a lot champ 🏆 cheers!

[@weekdaycycling]

Thank you for reminding me of the good times at Nimman through your video. I stayed at U-Nimman and went shopping at the Maya mall. I agree that the front of the mall has no shade to keep us cool in the heat. I'm curious to know why many malls in Thailand don't plant trees around the building, despite the fact that Thailand is a hot country. They probably don't like it if the trees block the view of the building, I believe.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks! I’m glad I could take you back there this way. Good question 🤔 you might be right there. That would be the only thing that makes sense now 😅 or maybe it leave space for an event so the can put food stalls and all right there 🤓 I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ haha cheers mate have a good day

[@pannachawangkul585]

I think it's time I buy you and Ilona some coffees. Enjoy your Travel, Chai. Stay champ!

Aw haha your nice Panna 😊 it’s always good to know you’re watching anyway 😊 cheers! 🏆

[@connielinz879]

Hi Chai, The last time we were in Chiang Mai we went to Nimman and ate at some amazing cafes and checked out some of the malls. Have you ever been to the markets near the University? I haven't but that's on my bucket list for my next visit to Chiang Mai :)

[@Chai_Travel]

Hi Connie, nice you’ve visited this place as well. So many things to do and to go to 🤩 I have and I really liked it. A lot of great food over there 🤤 I’m sure you’ll love it too! Thanks again 🏆

[@stevens8785]

Nice one champ. Thanks for the tour. Great for the city of Chiang Mai especially now as it and the country continue the recovery process to normality. That is certainly a great attraction for the tourists. Cheers. 🤩

[@Chai_Travel]

Cheers Steven! It’s definitely getting slowly back there. It’s also nice to see new shops are opening every day 😃 always a pleasure 🏆

[@cornelisadrop]

Great video of one of my favorite places in Chiang Mai . Love to go to ristr8to for the best expresso macchiato ever !!

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha perfect! This area really starts growing on me. There are so many different places. I’m sure almost everyone is able to find a nice place which they love within Nimman 🤩 cheers 🏆

[@majorkade]

Enjoyed this. Will be in CM in June. I guess a motorbike is pretty essential in Nimman?

[@Chai_Travel]

Perfect! Yeah it does make it a lot easier to get around. The red cabs (song taos) are going everywhere within the city too. Those can be continent as well if you don’t have a motorbike

[@majorkade]

@@Chai_Travel Thanks!

[@behzadmaleki9837]

Hi Chai✋🥰 We like your videos 🥰🙂👌and we enjoy more from Thailand video👌👍 One question In your opinion, where is the best city to live in Thailand that has good energy and can live in nature and is not a crowded city?

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks for watching and saying hi 🤗 ow that’s a difficult one. I’d say Chiang Mai is my favorite city so far. Though it has the burning season which is a big downside. Udon Thani, Chaiyaphum, and Roi et I’d recommend to check out to see if it’s suitable for you. So many cities in Thailand you never hear about but are very lively without many tourists ;)

[@behzadmaleki9837]

@@Chai_Travel Among all the cities you have visited, tell me the three cities you would like to live in

[@Chai_Travel]

I like the question! I’m not ready to settle down yet. But let’s say for a half a year would be nice to live in Bangkok, KL, Luang Prabang. I also love to spent more time in Hanoi and Saigon. Seam Reap is also a place where I can see myself living in for a while :) haha sorry… I can’t pick 3

[@noorur]

I went to the Maya Mall today, got there at 9:30am, had to wait outside across the road (by the Korean store) for it to open

[@Chai_Travel]

Ow nooo! Sorry to hear that. I don’t think there are many malls opening before 10am. Most open fully after 11am.

[@noorur]

@@Chai_Travel it's fine. I just got back to Bangkok just now from Chiang Mai. Loved the city so much, and Doi Inthanon National Park, incredible scenary.

@@Chai_Travel I hadn’t done my makeup and hair that day 😂 I’m in town for a while yet so you never know. Can’t beat Wat Phra Lat for some peace and quiet, or Huay Tueng Thao. Tom Teng Toh should be on your list for eating in Nimman though.

[@chrish.6968]

Great video! I was particularly interested in this one since I'll be staying in the Nimman area for 6 weeks starting in January 2023. Normally I'd like to stay in an area with less foreigners, but the location is great and I like all the restaurants and cafes. And, as an American, I especially like knowing where I can get a great burger!

[@Chai_Travel]

Perfect! I’m glad I could help a little this way 😃 really, you won’t be disappointed at beast burgers. There are many good places but this one is really standing out. Don’t forget the garlic mayo once you get here 😊 cheers Chris 🏆

is there a baht bus near by or a bus to old town? If there is, how long you have to wait? Is there a train? what is the cost to Old Town? I rather now take bolt or grab, the cost adds up
