Rimping Village is a great place to stay in Chiang Mai if you enjoy privacy, tranquillity and nature. Despite feeling like a world away, we are only a short 10 to 15-minute walk to the bustling Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, and a 25 to 30-minute walk to Thapae Gate at the Old Town.
There is plenty to see and do in the area and a good choice of cafes and restaurants to try including American, Vietnamese and Thai. The riverside is minutes away, where popular bars and live music entertain into the night. If you feel like a cosy night in, there is a handy international supermarket just down the street with imported products and wine.
We encourage everyone to read our reviews and discover why guests love to stay with us. We pride ourselves on our service and want all guests to be well informed of the area we stay and local amenities available. Our healthy and delicious cuisine is also a highlight as we endeavour to share our passion for local food with our guests.
This is one of most popular night markets in Chiang Mai and opens every evening from 18.00 to 24.00 hrs. The market is spread in all directions and hard to define where it begins and ends but you can’t go wrong if you head for the intersection of Chang Clan Road and Loi Krro Road, about a 12-minute walk from Rimping Village. It offers a fabulous selection of handicrafts, shoes, luggage, DVDs, sunglasses, artwork, homeware, furniture and more.
This weekly night market is located in the heart of the Old Town and covers about one kilometre of the street from Thapae Gate towards Ratchadamnoen Road.
