The Old City is the historic heart of Chiang Mai, surrounded by a moat and ancient walls. It’s a place where beautiful temples, museums, and cultural attractions harmoniously coexist with 7-Elevens and luxury spas. This charming blend of old and new, low-brow and hi-so, contributes to the Old City’s unique appeal. It’s a highly developed area that remains culturally rich, making it an excellent choice for those seeking history and modern convenience.
Alt_Chiang Mai, tucked behind Wat Pra Singh on a quiet street leading to the moat, is a fantastic coliving and coworking space in the Old City. It offers excellent amenities and keeps a busy schedule of lifestyle and entrepreneurial events for the community. You can also cowork at one of Punspace’s two Old City coworking spaces.
The Old City mainly offers smaller guesthouses and budget apartments, but you’ll also find charmingly renovated houses within its ancient walls. It’s highly walkable and easily explored by bicycle if you’re not yet ready for the thrills of a motorbike.
