Prime location – Just a short walk to Nimmanhiemin

Hidden down a small unnamed alleyway off the middle reaches of Canal (Irrigation) Road, Huay Kaew Condotel lies merely three minutes walk from the popular Thai neighbourhood of Chang Khian with its lively day markets and 24 hour Tesco Lotus Express convenience store. Scarcely a five minute stroll further along Huay Kaew Road is Malin Plaza upon which now stands the recently designated Chiang Mai Complex home to a branch of Café Amazon open round-the-clock, an outsized food court serving domestic and western dishes, Japanese and Korean restaurants as well as the wonderfully atmospheric –though ever-bustling with young fashion-struck Thai students- nightly pop-up market Kad Na Mor filled with yet more terrific value eats and shoestring-priced clothing stalls. Easily accessible from either the northern entrance on Huay Kaew Road or, alternately, by way of a side gate on Huay Kaew Soi 3, the main campus of Chiang Mai University (CMU) is but a 10 minute saunter from Huay Kaew Condotel; sited on almost three square kilometres, the town-like and still partly-forested grounds of which feature an abundance of highly affordable food courts, coffee shops and bakeries as well as a post office, a variety of Thai banks, the computer- and WiFi-equipped  main library and, in the north west corner, the especially scenic Ang Kaew reservoir directly behind which are the wooded slopes of the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Immediately to the north east of Huay Kaew Condotel is the area known as Jed Yod populated mostly by local Thai folk and home to the 15^th century –and little visited- eponymous temple as well as, dare we say, recognised for its fair share of ’drawn-curtain’ love hotels! Reachable on foot (optionally via the nearby co-working space, Addicted To Work) in around 15 minutes from the condotel is the futuristic-looking and well-trodden Maya Lifestyle Shopping Centre intersecting with the multi-lane Super Highway and the northern periphery of Nimman, Chiang Mai’s trendiest stomping ground with its collection of upmarket bars, cafés, restaurants and boutique retail concerns.
