In a twinkly setting on Mae Nam Ping, this is one of the longest-running live music venues in Chiang Mai. Two cover bands play at either end of the rambling wooden buildings nightly. It's usually packed with both foreigners and Thais on weekends, so arrive early to get a table on the veranda overlooking the river. There are two indoor bars, both full of regulars, and the food is reliably good. Has two storages featuring rock and pop covers by surprisingly good bands.

Jazzy Music North Gate Jazz is one place for the Jazz lover to hang out and jam the music in this restaurant. It’s just a small shop to drink and play on your styles. That’s cool I went here on Tuesday which is a Jam Day. I talked a little bit with two musicians who have been in Chiang Mai for quite a long time. Let’s enjoy the jazz, one popular thing in Chiang Mai.
Guitar Maestro Just relax with the aged 60 years guitar maestro who many people always talk about his playing. Thus I visited his restaurant named "Kau Tok" where he was fully presenting his guitar. And as well I asked him about his life as one music guru. The reason people call him "Ajarn" (teacher) is his 30 years experienced of being teacher in high school, and that's great I used to be his student. Finally, music makes him relax and being a maestro though he's just beginning after retiree by intension.
