Maya Lifestyle Mall - Chiang Mai: It's a monster!

in thailand •  6 years ago 

I have been to 3 of the many shopping malls in this fine city of Chiang Mai and so far this one is the best. I say this not necessarily because of what it contains inside because I feel as though most shopping malls are pretty much the same as far as products are concerned but I really like the look and the layout.

Located near the popular Nimman (which is actually spelled Nimmanhaemin but no one can remember that) area of Chiang Mai and at the West end of the "super-highway" it is very accessible from pretty much anywhere in the city. For people staying in the city center the cost of getting here should be around 100 Baht from any hotel.

This is also the home of what I believe to be the most popular cinema complex in all of Chiang Mai. The theaters will almost always be crowded. The Thai movie experience is very different from what i remember in the west as every theater I have been to was impeccably clean and seats are assigned so there is no reason to fight to get the primo seats in the middle, just book them ahead of time.

As far as shopping is concerned it is exactly what you will come to expect from a mall in Thailand. A floor dedicated to athletic equipment, a floor dedicated to beauty products, a floor for fashion, a floor dedicated to food and drink, and a floor for electronics (primarily mobile phones.) It really isn't anything particularly special as far as what stores they have is concerned.

I always appreciate when places have computer problems and seriously don't give AF

If you want to see a film or eat at a chain restaurant while you enjoy the luxuriously powerful air-conditioning, this is the place to be. However, there really isn't anything out of the ordinary on offer here. For days that I don't have anything planned I will go to Maya (or a similar place) book a film, then go to H&M and Auntie Annes for a garlic pretzel to pass the time before showtime.

Yep, this reminds me of some of the big ones in China I have been too! Apart from the cinema...

In Thailand I went into a few malls in Bangkok but really didn’t like them. However I’m not the biggest fan of bangkok... do you like it there? I’ve had a few odd experiences that have put me off, and I don’t really love huge busy HOT cities. The temples were awsome though! Apart from the Tuk tuk driver abandoning me in the middle of knowehere after my tour... then an Indian man trying to steal my money

Bangkok has a bunch of scams in it. I look at Chiang Mai as sort of BKK light. I enjoy visiting BKK but i don't think i would very much like to live there.

Assigning seats at a cinema kind of ruins the fun for me. Nothing like running to those prime spots with popcorn in hand before the next person ...lol

Love your content brother! Hope you are liking mine too. Also Love watching movies in Thailand. Very clean, pay like an extra dollar and go for the luxury seats! Here is just one last Gem you may want to check out. Hope I'm not too in your face all of sudden. We so should have linked up while I was in town. Love Chiang Mai. Where are you from by the way? Me, I'm from Albany New York.

It looks pretty swanky from the outside. I like the sleek lines and curvature of the architecture. I think it is interesting how they are starting to add cinemas to most malls these days. The mall near me still has a separate cinema, but the next town over it is all together like this.
