Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This restaurant is perfect for passing the time while waiting at the airport. It's located right next to Chiang Mai International Airport, and if you've checked out of your hotel at midday and your flight is in the evening, it's really convenient. Spend some money there, keep the receipt, and the shuttle bus back to the terminal is free. It departs from Exit 3G approximately every 15 minutes.

Inside, you'll find a large, multi-story shopping mall in the typical northern Thai style: the ground floor houses a Tops supermarket and a large food court, above which are clinics, and further up are banks, Robinson as the main store, seven cinemas, a conference hall, and a children's playground. The Nike Factory Outlet and the Adidas Store are the main draws for many visitors. Northern Village also offers local handicrafts if you're looking for gifts. Go Wholesale and the Chiang Mai Hall factory outlet are right next door, making this bargain hunter's paradise quite compact. The mall isn't the easiest to navigate, and if you're already in town and not just passing through, Central Festival is a more pleasant alternative.
