While smaller than Bangkok’s gay nightlife, Chiang Mai’s gay bars offer a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere. The majority of Chiang Mai’s gay bars are concentrated around the Loi Kroh Road and Night Bazaar areas. These locations are easy to navigate and often within walking distance of each other, making it convenient for bar hopping.
Chiang Mai Gay Bars
Chiang Mai has a decent number of gay bars, many of which are located within the same general areas in the city centre.
Night Market / Night Bazaar area
There are several gay bars in Chiang Mai's famous Night Market area, particularly on Charoenprathet main road, on Charoenprathet Alley 6 and inside the Night Bazaar and Kalare shopping plazas.
