Boutique Shopping in Chiang Mai: Thai Home Décor, Antiques, and Hill Tribe Artifacts
Chiang Mai is a must-visit destination if you're a shopping enthusiast. It has everything, from antiques to trendy local fashion! And with the Thai Baht being relatively weak compared to the US Dollar, you can indulge in your shopping spree without breaking the bank.
Our boutique hotel in Chiang Mai provides the perfect base for your shopping adventures. After a day out exploring local markets, you can come home to a luxurious and relaxing retreat where you and your group are the only guests!
At Howie’s Homestay, we are tucked away in the Mae Rim Valley’s lush green landscape, and we’re unlike other boutique hotels in big cities because our exclusive luxury villa only takes one booking at a time. That means you have the whole place to yourself, making our villa ideal for families and groups of friends.
With a tranquil setting, we offer the perfect haven for unwinding after every shopping trip. As your hosts, we can even help you arrange shopping trips for Thai home décor, hill tribe artifacts, and antiques.
The perfect base for shopping trips
Most tourists stay near well-known markets and attractions in Chiang Mai. While convenient, it may not give you the peace and relaxation you deserve after a day or night of shopping. It’s better to stay in a private boutique hotel outside Chiang Mai, like Howie’s Homestay. No worries, as we can arrange a rental car for you or assign a reliable driver for a hassle-free 30-40-minute drive to and from the bustling night market and other must-see markets in town.
Discover Chiang Mai’s top markets from Howie’s Homestay
- Sunday Market - Every Sunday, Tha Pae Gate through Ratchadamnoen Road is filled with local vendors selling handcrafted trinkets. The Sunday Market also features musical performances from talented artists. If you’re hungry, Wat Sum Pow temple has food stalls to give you more energy to shop.
- Wualai Walking Street Market - This market is similar to the Sunday market but is scheduled every Saturday. It’s just opposite Chiang Mai Gate and is the best place to find the best deals on handcrafted silverware and woodwork. You might also appreciate that it’s less crowded.
- JJ Market - Go on a 20-minute drive north of the old city to find JJ Market on Assadathon Road. It has everything from antiques to freshly prepared food. It’s a must-see for interior design fans because it has a wide selection of Thai furniture, shrines, and statues.
- Chiang Mai Night Bazaar - Chiang Mai’s most renowned market is also a nighttime tourist attraction. Many tourists come here to buy souvenirs and trinkets, including teak furniture, lacquerware, and Thai crafts. Just be ready to put your bargaining skills to work to get the best deals!
