Visitor Reviews
My most favourtie shopping mall in Chiang Mai. There is always a parking space even if you came here during the holidays. It is never crowded. You can buy clothes , mobile phones , food , snack , etc here. There are also Thai banks , Movie theater (SF Cinema) , The Duke restaurant , Tom n Toms coffee shop , Auntie anne's , Wine Collection and many friendchise.
big beautiful mall. Not much here. many vacant stores. Still nice but needs more life. The immigration office does a good job. I got my retirement visa renewed. A lot of waiting, copies, go home a come back later, sitting. If they tell you to go to 2nd floor they mean the 3rd floor. Get copies of everything. 2k baht. Letter from bank and your bank book balance updated.
A big mall. It had a japanese festival in the center of the mall with many different food to try+ live music+ japanese kimono show(or something like that). Can't say much about the mall itself except that it also has a cinema upstairs
Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
