More than a shop — part of a neighbourhood we love
Pa Tan is the stretch of the Ping River's west bank just north of the city centre — a neighbourhood of riverside cafés, old teak houses and quiet lanes that most visitors only discover on a second trip. Hightown Riverside is in Soi Pa Tan, a short drive from Chang Phueak Gate and a world away from the Nimman crowds.
This is the branch to choose for an unhurried afternoon: come for sunset over the river and stay for the riverside restaurants along the bank. Hours are shorter than our 24-hour shops and change by day of the week, so check the times before you head out.
Frequently asked
How do I get to Hightown Riverside?
82 Soi Pa Tan, Pa Tan — north of the Old City on the river's west bank. A Grab from Chang Phueak Gate takes about 10 minutes; use the map link for the exact turn-off.
What are the opening hours?
Mon–Tue 13:00–22:00 · Wed 13:00–24:00 · Thu–Sun 10:00–24:00. Hours differ by day here, so check before a late visit.
What do I need to bring?
A passport or Thai ID card. Thai law sets the minimum age at 20 and we check ID for everyone; pregnant and breastfeeding customers cannot be served.
Is it worth the trip from the centre?
If you want a slower pace, yes: the river bank at sunset is one of Chiang Mai's best free views, and the neighbourhood restaurants are far less crowded than Nimman or the Night Bazaar.
