Maew

Hi, I’m Maew

Hi, I'm Maew! I find so much joy in living in Chiang Mai, a city where nature, culture and tradition come together beautifully. I love spending time in the national parks, surrounded by mountains, fresh air and the peaceful company of elephants - one of my favorite parts of life here. Exploring local markets is another passion of mine; they’re full of color, flavor and the rhythms of daily life and I enjoy sharing those authentic experiences with visitors. Whether it’s a visit to an elephant camp, a stroll through vibrant stalls, or simply taking in the view of the countryside, I’m happiest when I can show others the beauty and kindness that make Chiang Mai so special.

A proud Chiang Mai local who loves nothing more than sharing the spirit of my city. What makes Chiang Mai special to me is its strong sense of community and the incredible food that brings people together. You’ll often find me exploring outdoor trails, hiking in the mountains, or wandering through vibrant neighborhoods, markets, and temples. I have a soft spot for history and love uncovering the stories behind the city’s landmarks while introducing visitors to our best local bites. Whether you’re curious about Chiang Mai’s traditions, eager to taste authentic flavors, or simply looking for a fun day outdoors, I’ll make sure you feel at home and leave with great memories.

What I love most about Chiang Mai is how seamlessly modern life blends with ancient culture and nature. This slow-life city, with its kind-hearted people and deep roots in Buddhist philosophy, is a place I’m proud to call home.

From sacred temples and handmade crafts to vibrant restaurants and bars, I’ll help you experience Chiang Mai through the eyes of someone who truly cherishes it.

I was born and raised in Chiang Mai, a city I’m truly proud to call home. What I love most here are the people - always so welcoming - along with the beautiful nature and rich culture that surround us. You’ll often find me hiking through the mountains, enjoying a peaceful walk by the river, or relaxing over a good cup of coffee in one of the Old City’s cozy cafés. I know the Old City, rice fields, and riverside neighborhoods like the back of my hand, and I’m always happy to share their hidden corners. As someone deeply passionate about Chiang Mai’s history, temples, and traditions, I enjoy helping visitors connect with the stories behind the places they see. My goal is to make every experience feel personal, warm, and memorable - just like Chiang Mai itself.

Hi, I’m Nancy

Chiang Mai

I spend my days driving into the city just to chase a sunset or sneak in a plate of something delicious (trust me, Chiang Mai has no shortage of that). When I’m not wandering the streets, you’ll probably find me meditating in a temple - balancing out all the spicy noodles I can’t resist. I know Chiang Mai inside out, and I’ve also spent plenty of time exploring our neighbors Mae Hong Son and Chiang Rai, so I’ve got stories and shortcuts up my sleeve. If you’re looking for food, nature, and culture with a side of laughter, you’ve found your host.

Chiang Mai

I love Chiang Mai's way of life - a unique balance of beautiful nature, rich culture, and warm community spirit. For me, the city isn’t just a place to live, but a place to connect deeply with traditions and people. I enjoy sharing authentic food experiences, exploring local markets, and visiting homestays where activities bring you closer to everyday life in Northern Thailand. I know the neighborhoods, communities, and markets well, and I’m always inspired by how history and culture are woven into daily living here. With a passion for food, culture, history, and community service, I look forward to helping you discover the authentic side of Chiang Mai in a meaningful and memorable way.
