Chiang Mai is not just temples and trekking. At night, another city comes to life, more discreet but still vibrant, where, between massages with happy endings and adult venues, nightlife has its place – you just need to know where to go (and where to stay nearby).

The heart of the nightlife is Loi Kroh Road, with many bars featuring girls, small Go Go clubs, and a number of massage parlors where ‘Full Service’ is almost always part of the package, even if it’s not listed on the menu. A quick walk and you’ll easily figure out where to go in.

Just behind Loi Kroh, there’s the Chiang Mai Entertainment Complex: a compact area but rich in beer bars, with ‘takeaway’ girls and a predominantly relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great meeting point for travelers and local bar girls, perfect for a drink, some conversation… and maybe something more.

Around the Night Bazaar and along Chang Khlan Road, there are other massage shops, less flashy but just as interesting. Some have the appearance of luxury spas, but still offer extra services.

Hot spots to mark:

• Loi Kroh Road – Located in the eastern part of Chiang Mai’s Old City, near the Ping River and just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Chang Khlan Road and the Night Bazaar. It is easily accessible and very central. Loi Kroh Road is known for its nightlife. The street is lined with bars, pubs, nightclubs, and live music venues.

• Chiang Mai Entertainment Complex – A series of bars with girls on Loi Kroh Road, with a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for “fun” nights out.

• Chang Khlan / Night Bazaar – Chang Khlan is a neighborhood located east of the old city of Chiang Mai, along the western bank of the Ping River. It is one of the liveliest areas of Chiang Mai, famous for the Night Bazaar, a large night market that stretches along Chang Klan Road. Here, you’ll find stalls selling local crafts, clothing, souvenirs, and street food. The area is very popular with tourists and also offers numerous hotels, restaurants, and nightlife spots. It’s a central area, convenient for exploring the city and experiencing the typical atmosphere of northern Thailand.
