A Vibrant Expat Social Community

expatchiangmaiChiang Mai has an incredible amount of social networking groups and communities providing tons of interesting options for things to do. The social communities in Chiang Mai provide information on the “how, where and when”, and arrange endless group outings as well as host their own social events.

Westerners in Chiang Mai have, over the years, built social and entertainment networks that allow you to do something new almost every day. Lana Cricket has used the Gymkhana sports grounds for over 50 years, providing a wide variety of tennis, golf, cricket and other sporting and social events.

One of the most popular local communities is the Chiang Mai Expat Club, which holds a variety of scheduled events and activities. The Expat Club requires a one-off 1000 BHT membership (US$27) and is a popular resource of many businesses that specifically cater to the expat and retired community. Not to mention the fantastic breakfasts and meals they put on at their numerous social events. The Chiang Mai Expat group really is your one-stop-shop to a new social network and introduction to people who have once been where you are and now openly share their wisdom and knowledge.
