The Sax Music House

Getting here may require a raincoat, but once inside, this  Nimman jazz bar plays in harmony with the stormy blues outside – elevated but easygoing, warm yet still air-conditioned. Live bands play throughout the night making it impossible not to bob your head or sing along while ignoring the weather outside, and their full food menu means you can settle in for the whole evening and not worry about drinking on an empty stomach. Work through a plate of Thai food, order a second round of drinks and stay until the rain decides to stop.

B101 102 Nimmana Haeminda Road, Suthep, Muang Chiang Mai. Open 4.30pm-midnight
