Asia’s Cool Kids Flocking to Chiang Mai – Thailand’s current “It” Town

Bangkok has been for ages, the darling of young tourists who come to Thailand to seek pleasure, whether it be the entrancing nightclubs, the super-trendy shopping malls or the streets filled with explosive food from fried scorpions to crickets! Bangkok’s got it all-or so that’s what we all thought until Vogue, the world’s leading fashion magazine, recognized it as the destination for all the cool kids.

So before you book a Chiang Mai Resort the likes of Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, first read on to see what Vogue has to say about this fab destination as then you can plan out what to do.

Describing Chiang Mai Vogue says, “Chiang Mai has long catered to the elephant-print backpacker crowd, but venture away from the walled Old City to discover a surprisingly chic scene. The kilometer-long Nimmanhaemin Road proffers a maze of side streets crammed with coffee shops, health food joints, cozy restaurants, and live music bars. And on the banks of the Ping River, the historic area of Riverside flaunts upscale boutiques, hotels, and gallery spaces in elegant, colonial-style buildings. The cooler climate and compact size of Chiang Mai mean it’s a city best explored by bicycle—rent one from its bike-share scheme, Bike@ChiangMai.”
