Charm Bar

Charm Bar is a small, friendly gay bar tucked into the Soi 6 lane behind Chiang Mai's Night Bazaar, a few steps from Orion Bar and the cluster of gay venues that has long anchored this corner of the city. Run by a welcoming host, it draws a relaxed mix of expats, travelers and locals who come for cheap drinks, easy conversation and the kind of unhurried, chatty atmosphere that defines Chiang Mai's low-key gay nightlife rather than Bangkok's big clubs. It is an easy first stop on a night that usually rolls on to the nearby cabaret and host bars.
