About Nancy Chandler's Map of Chiang Mai
For many visitors, Chiang Mai's real appeal is in its secret sights, shops and cafes hidden down side streets and back alleyways, behind temples and inside otherwise nondescript lots. Nancy Chandler's Map of Chiang Mai shares these treasures, with extensive listings of everything from private museums and boutiques open 'by appointment only' to massage, cooking and Thai language schools, vegetarian restaurants, noodle stalls, things to do with the kids, tips for escaping the heat in summer, where to catch a European film, and more. The map includes detailed guides to the Night Bazaar and the backstreets of Warorot Market (Chiang Mai's Chinatown) as well as Greater Chiang Mai and the City Center. The latest edition index now includes more telephone numbers and descriptions than ever before!
Note: Actual printing on the map is much more legible than in the images shown on this page, we promise!
