Songkran is finally over, and Chiang Mai is getting back to normal! Join me as we brave the heat and smoky season for a nostalgic walk down the trendy Nimman Road.
In this vlog, we explore the post-festival vibe and revisit some iconic local spots:
Maya Mall & CAMP: We check out the legendary co-working space where the Chiang Mai digital nomad and dropshipping boom began. See how the original influencer stomping ground has changed since the golden days!
Payod Shan Food: I track down the brand-new, spacious location of my favorite Shan restaurant for a massive, delicious bowl of their famous 50-baht purple peanut soup noodles.
Chang Phueak Thrifting: We explore the best chain of second-hand clothing shops near the north gate to score some epic thrift deals starting at just 10 baht.

is chiang mai your favorite place in asia? or what others do you like?
I done songkran in Chiang mai for my 1st one this year. I left Monday morning, I'll be back next year
Did you get the ferret wet bro !!
Thumbs up 👍 Wayne
You must have a good evening
I am glad it's over but with the smoke we did not hang out too much. But only saw a handful of Western people in Chiang Rai which I love as it's a strictly Thai and gentle and respectful celebration. But the smoke is so dangerous your eyes sting and after awhile your mouth is dry but today Monday its a little better because of a little rain last night. Thanks Wayne.
Great video! I'd love to design thumbnails for your videos.
For a few days, the streets look nice and clean because of all the water washing them. Oh, I LOVE Payod! It's like the only veg place I go (except the old Pun Pun behind Wat Suandok) Love Shan State food or any "Burmese"! Yeah; my wife and I will go check out the 2nd hand places after eating at Payod too.
How busy is the Sunday night walking street these days?
Ive been to those second hand shops opposite BIG BIG Shabu, love that place
That's very true, Camp has been a great spot for digital nomads for a long time
good seein you , mate !
Aussies are hard to listen to.
Gday Mate – those Songkran numbers seem way off , Bangkok looked busy but that’s normal , Hua Hin same as other years , yep it’s the real start of low season now – All the best , take it easy ✌️👍😎🙏
🤟
Thanks for the update Lad. You should consider heading down to Kanchanaburi again for the annual Anzac Day for a couple of days. Would make good content 👍🏼
i agree; this was the quietest Songkran in 3 years. It looked like it was more locals than any farangs — which was kind of nice! I suspect less people, even locals, traveled to Chiangmai due to fuel costs and other geopolitical-financial reasons. Instead they and any out-of-country visitors stayed closer to Bangkok. Pattaya looks maxed out and pretty fun this year.Just my opinion based on what I saw.
Did you just get a bad hail storm? Best
Back to normal after a few days of mayhem. Hopefully the skies are clearing soon. Still looks pretty smoggy in the video. So yes not quite time to get back on the road just yet. Cheers Wayne. 🤩
My wife and I arrive May 13. Do you think the smoke will have cleared by then? We were there last year at that same time and I don't remember it being a problem then. I'll buy you a tea if I see you.
Holy shit I’ve never seen that Camp Co working place so empty .
I bought a new pair of On shoes in Run2Paradise because the On's I was wearing were trashed, but I later found out about a guy near Loy Kroh who has a shop specializing in cleaning sneakers. Gave the old ones away and was told they cleaned up like new.
Mango/ Peach/Pineapple smoothie….jum! Hahahaha
Like Mardi Gras, we get millions! Hahahah
Street's look a bit cleaner after all the water being sprayed around 😅
You got a mango tree my man, thats huge!! Enjoy your time in my favorite city on earth, love and peace legend!
