Chiang Mai Accommodation Around Nimmanhaemin Road, to the West of the Old City Moat

Chiang Mai accommodation - Luxury apartments and hotels, boutique guesthouses and one lovely cheap guesthouse! This area is popular with young people for the numerous stylish bars and restaurants that are scattered along the main Nimmanhaemin Road and down the many small streets that link to it. This is a relative new area and the developers have done well with their design - the many linking streets have kept the area quiet and peaceful. From some of the streets to the west of Nimmanhaemin Road, there's great view of nearby Doi Suthep Mountain.

This area is a fashionable area to live, reflected by the many upscale apartment buildings, most of which I've included below. This area doesn't have the history or the charming temple streets of the old city moat area, but that's only a kilometer or so away. You're also closer to the mountain and close to a large shopping complex with cinema. With a bicycle or motorbike to keep you mobile, this area is definitely worth considering.

You might feel I'm a bit lenient towards vegetarian resturants- well actualy I am!..but also there are comparitively few vegetarian places compared to places that serve meat so I feel I want to highlight them. If you want to eat meat/fish, there are scores of nice looking restaurants in this area. If you want details of meat (and vegetarian!) restaurants inside the moat area, you can click here.
