This matches my experience. Chiang Mai is underrated.

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

How's the nightlife there compared to Germany?

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.
