Shangri-La Group Hotels Near Tha Phae Gate
Tha Pae Gate, the most iconic historical landmark in Chiang Mai, was built in 1296 as the only well-preserved city gate of the ancient walls. This red-brick gate reflects the glory of the Lanna Kingdom, surrounded by remnants of moats and fortifications. By day, visitors feed pigeons and take photos in the square; by night, it transforms into a vibrant artisan market selling crafts and local snacks. During the Sunday Night Market, it becomes a hub for experiencing Northern Thai culture.
