A curated, planner-grade field guide to real venues across the city, Mae Rim, Hang Dong, Doi Saket, Mae On & beyond.
Chiang Mai, often called the "Rose of the North," is one of Thailand’s most enchanting destinations for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. This northern city and its surrounding districts (like Mae Rim and Hang Dong) offer a rich blend of historic Lanna heritage, lush mountain scenery, and modern amenities – making it a versatile backdrop for any celebration or meeting.
Chiang Mai’s event venue scene is impressively diverse, ranging from five-star resorts and royal garden estates to hip rooftop bars and cultural centers.
In this guide, we present a comprehensive list of venues in the Chiang Mai region that host weddings, private parties, and corporate events. To make it easy to navigate, venues are organized by category: luxury hotels and resorts, private villas and estates, restaurants and cafes, heritage and cultural sites, co-working and creative spaces, clubs, rooftops, gardens and art spaces, and major convention centers. Each venue is mentioned in its primary category, along with insights into what makes it special. Whether you’re planning an intimate destination wedding, a high-energy company party, or a large conference, this guide will help you discover the perfect venue.
We’ll also share tips on how to search for venues like a local Thai, since many hidden gems promote themselves on social media rather than traditional websites. Let’s dive in and explore Chiang Mai’s top event venues, category by category.

9) Local Search Tips (Thai-First Tactics)
Find more “under-the-radar” venues the way locals do:
Search in Thai: สถานที่จัดงาน เชียงใหม่, สถานที่จัดงานแต่งงาน เชียงใหม่, ห้องบอลรูม เชียงใหม่.
Use Facebook & Instagram first: venue pages and tagged photos often show recent setups and curfews.
Maps > Filters: switch to map view, apply “เปิดทำการ” (open now), check latest posts/stories for activity.
Ask in Thai (or via a Thai colleague) for floor plans, load-in routes, curfew notes and rain contingencies.
