Readers often ask "Must buy in Chiang Mai or where can I start designing small things?" The answer lies on Nimman Road.It has developed a business district with design, hand-made, original and styled shops. Therefore, the city of Chiang Mai is slowly stepping out of the traditional appearance in your and my impressions, and gradually entering a true cultural and creative settlement of its own. It attracts travelers to visit again and again.
Geographical introduction of Think Park Cultural and Creative Plaza
Think Park Cultural and Creative Plaza is in front of Eastin Tan Hotel Chiang Mai. The hotel is owned by Oishi Catering Group owner Tan Passakornnatee (commonly known as Captain Tan), so there is a Q version of his portrait at the front entrance, which is very impressive.Novice friends may not know the distance between points. I will explain a little bit here. It is not too far from the inside and outside of Chiang Mai’s ancient city to the airport (compared to Bangkok). Take this as an example. Mai Airport is about 15 minutes by car, and it’s about the same time to the ancient city. I think you can also arrange to visit department stores, Chiang Mai University business district, or Chiang Mai’s designer circle Nimman Road. Everything is very convenient.

What are the product features of Think Park Cultural and Creative Plaza?What else to buy nearby?
There are many small design objects with texture and style elements. I think the price is very good value. For example, Robin Ruth store has a lot of letter element bags and accessories. At that time, I connected with my sister and she followed I bought a Chiang Mai alphabet side backpack (790 baht*85% off) and a Thai alphabet cosmetic bag (490 baht*9% off), because I often went to the store for a few days and chatted with the boss about it, probably Kind of windfall during travel?
Many of the products sold in several stores are leather products. Perhaps the first time you see the price, you will find it expensive. After all, this is a great value Thailand, and it is also a Chiang Mai where the price is lower than Bangkok. Just like I was fancy at the time. Leather glasses case, I remember the price is about 7-900 baht, I am a little reluctant to buy it, now I want to find similar models again after returning to Taiwan, and even go to the design website to search, each price ranges from 2 to 3 Taiwan dollars. Therefore, If you know how to buy and know how to buy, please don't miss this treasure paradise.
Think Park can be finished in about half an hour, but if you like these cultural and youthful commodities, it is not too much an afternoon, because there are cafes on both sides to rest and eat, and there is even a live bar next to each night. Band performances are a good place for young people to gather. On Saturday nights, there will be an ultra-mini hand-made small market in front of the square. There are about 7-8 stalls selling their own products. You can definitely feel it when you walk on Nimman Road. What is called the "cultural and creative industry".
Finally, next to Think Park is the Maya department store, and all the way down there are small shops for clothing and accessories. Some are exquisitely textured and expensive, while others are small items at a small price. Whether you want to shop or not depends on people, but at least I love this area very much. I want to buy some souvenirs that are different from those seen in tourist night markets. Don't miss it here.
