Is This The Most Striking Area in Chiang Mai?

Today, I'm exploring what might be the coolest part of Chiang Mai City, Thailand! This area is nestled right next to the mountains, so it's super green and nature-y. Imagine waking up to fresh mountain air - that's what it's like here!
First up, I checked out a super affordable room rental. It's perfect for budget travelers or anyone who wants more of a nature experience. I wandered around and discovered a unique cafe that i use to come for coffee many moons a go.
This area also boasts some amazing markets that aren't as crowded as the big ones downtown. I found handmade souvenirs, fresh local fruits, and even some funky clothes.
The whole area has a totally different feel from the rest of Chiang Mai. It's much more relaxed and peaceful, with a strong focus on nature. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle and find a chill spot in Chiang Mai, this place is a must-visit!

There is a spot called Lankinsen restaurant just south a few min from Wat Umong is a hidden gem in that area well worth checking out if over that way super good prices for really amazing food and good portion sizes. I'd highly recommend giving them a try next time you're over that way you won't be disappointed. Lots of free on site bike and car parking too!

    Another entertaining & informative vlog! Love to see affordable areas, and all the possible places to live & eat. :) Speaking of places to live, have you come across many old-fashioned guesthouses - ie. larger houses where you rent a private room, typically for a shorter stay (1-3 months) but share the kitchen & bathroom facilities with people renting the other rooms? Not a hostel - I see that as a different type of space. If so, how do yu usually find these places? On Facebook? Word-of-mouth? Or mostly by just wandering around and looking for "For Rent" signs? BTW - do you ever ask if the renter knows how to do the TM30 form?

    Question - have you noticed a lot of cyclists (racing type not shopping bike) in that area? As I understand it Chang Mai is has quite a large community of cyclists due to the terrain and the cooler weather than the south. I am looking at being based in Chang Mai and alternating between PKK area which is an amazing place.
