Developing a creative district in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai Old City (inner moat) occupies parts of the subdistricts of Sri Wichai, Nakorn Phing, and Mengrai within the Chiang Mai Municipality. Stretching over 2.56 square kilometers, this site houses buildings of historical significance and traditional performances expressing such diverse cultures. It accommodates a local community and a large number of business operators, designers, and artisans who make products and services using creativity built on local arts, culture, and handicrafts. This equips the area with the basic elements suitable for a creative district that can create economic opportunities for the locals.
