As of 2023, Chiang Mai has 3 main shopping malls ‘Central Festival’, ‘Central Airport’ and ‘Maya’. Around the city there are numerous other expansive Lotus’s and Big C’s but these don’t offer the same experience with a full range of activities like cinemas and international brands. All three malls are modern and clean have similar retail outlets as well as banks, supermarkets, clothing, souvenirs and food courts.
