Condo Rentals in Chiang Mai city Thailand
The following few paragraphs will give you an idea as to what to do and where to eat when you stay in one of our Vacation Apartment Rentals in Chiang Mai.
We basically took out a map and drew a circle around our Apartment Building in Chiang Mai encompassing an area of 1 Kilometer. You can walk to ALL of the below places in under 10 minutes.
Peaks Spa

Literally outside the front door of our Chiang Mai apartments is one of Chiang Mai’s best boutique Spas. It opened just recently and already it has a loyal customer base because it is good. There are many Spas in Chiang Mai to choose from but Peaks Spa is definitely on eof the top 3 and worth stopping in as you pass by.
Bake and Bite
This extremely popular Foreign breakfast haunt is less than 5 minutes away and serves up some of the best breakfasts in Chiang Mai. They not only make their own bread, bagels and mouth watering pies but they can also rustle up the best turkey dinner in Thailand. They have 3 small outlets in Chiang Mai and this one is fully air conditioned and an oasis on a hot day where you can sit down for a smoothie and read an English newspaper.
Fish Spa Chiang Mai ( Fish Actually )
Directly across the road from bank and Bite and on the second floor below the open bar is the strangely name Fish Spa. Get a little closer to the place and you will look up and see many people sitting by the windows with their feet in fish tanks. It’s a unique idea that supposedly comes from Malaysia and has found its way up here to Chiang Mai. The fish eat the dead skin off your feet and it is supposed to feel quite ticklish. A few copy cat versions have popped up in the area but the original is till the best.
Red Machine
Right above the Fish Bar in Chiang Mai is the open roofed bar called The Red Machine. Its called this because they specialize in the sale of Johnny Walker and because they have many TV screens showing English football ( Liverpool / Man United ). Most nights they also have a singing duo who perform not a bad selection of the oldies.
A great place to spend a relaxing evening as it’s on the 3rd floor you get a bird’s eye view of the Night Bazaar and the surrounding area as you also benefit from the gentle breeze blowing through the place. They also serve food.
Pantip Plaza Chiang Mai
On the corner of the intersection and right beside where the Night Bazaar starts is Pantip Plaza. This shopping Mall specializes in Electronics and computers but it also has some interesting restaurants inside it as well. On a hot or rainy days it’s a great place to go to escape the weather and have a cool drink, do some shopping or eat some Japanese food.
Chiang Mai Night Bazaar
Just about a 5 minute walk away from your Apartment is the start of the world famous Chiang Mai Night Market. Here you will find everything and anything you could ever want and you can do all your souvenir shopping in under an hour. In the evenings both sides of this street ( Chang Klan Road ) become one of the longest shopping streets in Thailand as they are filled with stalls selling everything. You can spend hours walking up and down the street and visiting the many markets in the side streets.
