Strolling Through Time at Tha Phae Gate, Chiang Mai 🏯

One of the most iconic landmarks in Chiang Mai, Tha Phae Gate is more than just a historical site — it’s a living photo spot full of charm and character ✨. Just look at this moment! Framed by the ancient red bricks 🧱 and golden light ☀️, this peaceful photo captures the timeless soul of the city.

One thing that makes this place extra special? 🕊️ The pigeons! You’ll often find flocks of birds flying around 🐦 or resting along the gate. Some even flutter dramatically into frame right when you're taking a photo 📸 — giving you that effortlessly candid, Instagram-worthy shot. A few locals nearby even sell bird food if you want to tempt them closer for a photo moment (please be mindful of the birds and treat them kindly 🙏)
