Hai Ya is a peaceful area to unwind after a busy day, and there are some lovely green spots nearby that make weekend walks really enjoyable. It’s nice to have a decent selection of restaurants that offer local dishes without having to go far, which suits me perfectly. Getting around is not difficult since it’s relatively close to public transport options, so exploring Chiang Mai from here is straightforward.
ข้อเสีย
It does feel a bit limited when it comes to evenings; there isn’t much happening nightlife-wise, so after dark, things get pretty quiet. A few more lively spots would be welcome because the dining options, while decent, aren’t extremely varied, which can get a bit repetitive if you’re staying a while.
