Where to sleep in Chiang Mai — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Old City — inside the moat
Temples at every turn, guesthouses in garden lanes, walking-only ease.
Nimman — café country
The design-and-coffee quarter by the university — digital-nomad HQ.
Riverside — the calm east bank
The Ping's teak houses and slow terraces.
Santitham — the local hack
Between Old City and Nimman at neighborhood prices.
