Chiang MaiThailand Get Directions

Flowing quietly through the heart of Chiang Mai, the Ping River offers a slower, more scenic side of the city. Lined with cafés, temples, markets, and wooden Thai houses, this historic river has been the lifeblood of the region for centuries.

Take a relaxing longtail boat ride or simply walk along the shaded promenade. In the early mornings, monks from nearby temples cross the bridges on their alms rounds. By night, the riverside lights up with charming restaurants and local bars perfect for sunset dinners and riverside cocktails.

The river also connects visitors to Chiang Mai’s famous Warorot Market, Iron Bridge, and boutique hotels that overlook the water. Whether you’re into photography, romance, or riverside vibes, the Ping River has something for everyone.
