Tha Phae Gate, Chiang Mai

📍 Tha Phae Gate – A classic Chiang Mai landmark
If you've been to Chiang Mai and haven't visited, it's like you haven't been! This popular photo spot combines everything in one frame: a vintage orange brick wall, sunlight streaming through the gate, and a flock of pigeons flying by, creating a truly natural experience.

Stand in the middle of the gate and pose gently, letting the light filter through – it creates an artistic mood.

Wait for the moment when a bird flies overhead, and that moment is a magical moment!

For a Lanna-inspired feel, try renting traditional or Thai clothing for a chic photo opportunity.

Bring a film camera or vintage props to enhance the mood.

We recommend visiting in the evening for the warm, soft light. 🌇

🕒 Best Time to Visit

⛅ Morning (before 9 AM) – Good light, fewer people, perfect for taking photos.

🌤 Evening (after 5 PM) – Beautiful light, perfect for portraits.

🛍 Sunday evenings, there's also a walking street, perfect for enjoying delicious food and street photography.

There's more to this place than just the gate, there's also a large courtyard in front, perfect for playing with shadows, light, and the movement of birds. Solo shots are stunning, couples are sweet, and group shots are incredibly cool.

Find a reflective angle or shoot through a gap in the wall for a creative twist.

Bring a chic umbrella, straw hat, or patterned coat for a sophisticated look.

Don't forget to add a cool caption, or your photos will be Instagram-ready!

Tha Phae Gate is a check-in spot that combines vintage, culture, and chicness. If you love taking photos and want a free location, great lighting, and pigeons as a backdrop, this is the place for you!

Don't feed the birds!
