The Mae Kha Canal is a tributary of the Ping River and flows through the city of Chiang Mai for 11 kilometers of its 31-kilometer length. Long plagued by polluted water, it has been cleaned and renovated. A 750-meter section has recently become a popular meeting place in Chiang Mai. Located southeast of the central square, this small, renovated stretch of canal has hosted numerous events since 2022 and has become a central location for the Loy Krathong celebrations in Chiang Mai.

Bicycle tours in Chiang Mai often lead through the Khlong Mae Kha canal.

To get to the Khlong Mae Kha canal, you can easily go by bicycle. Alternatively, you can get into a red car and tell the driver "Khlong mé ka". The same applies if you go by tuk-tuk.
