Northgate Spirit / Sher Maker

Source Summary

While public space in Thailand is still mostly shaped by private entrepreneurs rather than by urban planning or local government. Northgate Spirit is a creative extension project from the North Gate Jazz Co-op, a street-jazz venue that has been part of Chiang Mai's old town for over 19 years. Located on Ratchapakinai Road within the inner moat, the space takes into account the creation of a commercial area that can connect with and support public spaces accessible to all. This resulted in a multi-functional space combining a coffee shop, garden, and bar.
