About LGBTQ+ Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai offers a smaller, laid-back gay scene that suits the mountain city's relaxed pace, with bars clustered around the Night Bazaar and along Chang Klan road. Cabaret venues like Ram Bar and 6ixcret run nightly shows, with a set of go-go host bars in the Santitham area north of the Old Town. Northern Thailand's cultural capital pairs temples, markets, and cooler weather with a friendly, low-key nightlife. With Thailand's 2025 marriage-equality law, it draws a growing number of gay travelers, especially in the cool season.
