Chaing Mai Shopping Malls

Chiang Mai has two main shopping malls both containing a wide range of shops, restaurants and other services. Both malls contain a large department store, supermarket and multi screen cinema.

Airport Plaza is located on the corner of Mahidol and Hang Dong Road close to Chiang Mai airport. There are good parking facilities and a range of public transport options. Set over 4 floors in a giant L-shape, Airport Plaza offers a complete western style shopping experience.

The largest store in Airport Plaza is the substantial Robinsons department store selling the usual wide variety of goods including cosmetics, clothing, household goods, appliances and so on.

At the other end of the mall is Northern Village, a collection of boutique shops selling a wide variety of northern craft products. These are generally of a higher quality than that found in the local markets but they also have a correspondingly higher price tag.

On the ground floor is Tops supermarket and some small local clothing boutique style shops as well as a Watsons Pharmacy and a number of eateries.

The First and second floors have a very wide range of modern shops including clothing, jewellery shops, hairdressers, opticians, sports shops and so on.

The third floor of Airport Plaza is dominated by IT, audio visual and camera shops. Many of the big manufacturers have their own shops selling their merchandise including Sony, Apple, Samsung, Hewlett Packard and LG. There are also more generals shops such as IT City a computer and peripherals retailer.

The fourth floor is home to the Major Cineplex which is the best multi screen cinema in Chiang Mai showing films in both Thai and English. Outside the cinema is a Thai style food court with a wide range of stalls selling one-dish local food.

There are many other eating options in Airport Plaza including a Sizzler Steakhouse, Fuji and Zen Japanese Restaurants and ice cream parlours.

If western style shopping is what you want then Airport Plaza is your best option.
