A sweet slice of Santitham

Stay where Chiang Mai actually lives

Tangmo means watermelon in Thai — and like its name, Tangmo House keeps things fresh and simple. Soundproofed rooms with balconies and terraces sit on a quiet lane off Santisook Road in Santitham, Chiang Mai’s favourite local neighbourhood.

Borrow a bike, follow the smell of grilled chicken to the night-food stalls, and roll home to a proper desk and fast Wi-Fi. The Old City moat is a short ride south; the airport is fifteen minutes away.
