Oldy De Garden

Oldy De Garden brings apartment-style comfort to Chiang Mai’s Si Phum district, just outside the old city walls. The property sits on Maneenopparat Road in the Sriphoom area, putting you within walking distance of temples, cafes, and the Sunday Walking Street market. This residential neighborhood gives you a local feel while keeping tourist attractions close.

The real draw here is having your own kitchen and living area – something rare in this part of Chiang Mai. These aren’t hotel rooms but proper apartments with separate bedrooms, bathrooms, and cooking facilities. You’ll also get parking included, which is gold dust in this part of town where finding a spot can be a nightmare. The outdoor areas add breathing room that cramped guesthouses can’t match.

Insider Tip: Check-in ends at 8:00 PM sharp, so don’t plan any late arrivals. If your flight lands after 6 PM, message them ahead to confirm someone will be there.

Budget-conscious travelers and anyone staying more than a few days will love the kitchen setup and space to spread out. That outstanding 9.3/10 Booking.com rating speaks to consistently happy guests who appreciate the apartment-style layout. The trade-off is you won’t get daily housekeeping or hotel-style service – this feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying at a resort. Families particularly benefit from having multiple rooms and cooking facilities.

Si Phum puts you in the sweet spot for exploring Chiang Mai without paying old city premium prices. You’re close enough to walk to Wat Chedi Luang and the Night Bazaar, but far enough out to feel like you’re living among locals rather than tourists. The neighborhood has good local food options and easy access to red songthaews for getting around the city.
