Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a month was an amazing experience. Chiang Mai is the digital nomad capital of the world for good reason — It’s among the cheapest and most convenient cities in the world. Breakfast in bed for $2, a central apartment with pool and gym for $300, decent English skills.
There’s a reason Chiang Mai gets a lot of love from nomads. While I think much of Chiang Mai’s love is cultlike, it is a solid nomad base. While I’m happy to be back in Saigon now, I do miss Chiang Mai sometimes.
I don’t just miss the prices and laid back vibe though. Chiang Mai is an underrated city for entertainment options. From ziplining, to elephany cantuaries, to cooking classes, Chiang Mai has lots of activities to fill you leisure time.
One of the most popular places to chill out, however, is Maya Mall. Maya is the city’s most popular mall located just off the famous Nimmanahaeminda Road. If you’re looking for a place to relax with friends or cool down during Chiang Mai’s sweaty afternoons, Maya is as good a place as any other for you to check out.
I may not be a big shopper, but I had a good time checking out the mall nonetheless. Exploring Maya’s many floors is a great way to pass an afternoon or night out during your stay in Chiang Mai. Plus, there’s an awesome food court!
I hope you enjoy the video. It should give you a good idea of the types of shops and excitement waiting for you at Maya. Most importantly, I hope you have the opportunity to visit Maya Mall for yourself someday!
