About Santitham
A residential neighbourhood between Nimman and the Old City suited to longer stays.
Santitham is a local student area defined by street food stalls and apartment buildings. The Old City's north moat is walkable, but most people use ride-hailing apps or scooters for longer trips. Pick this area for lower prices and everyday Thai life, but skip it if you want nightlife or major temples on your doorstep.
- Getting there
- Scooter or ride-hailing apps from the Old City.
- Watch out for
- Smoke season lowers air quality from February to April.
