Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai has a relaxed, welcoming LGBTQ+ scene around Nimmanhaemin Road and Santitham (Warm Up Café, Infinity Club, Adam's Apple, Circle Pub). Chiang Mai Pride returned in 2019 after a long hiatus; June Pride Month brings parades and events. The city is very safe and open-minded for queer travelers.
