Pa Daet has a lovely calm vibe that's perfect if you want to escape the usual city hustle but still stay connected with the heart of Chiang Mai. It’s easy to find relaxing green spots nearby which helped me reset after busy days and the neighborhood feels genuinely peaceful and safe, especially after dark. Public transport isn’t bad at all, so moving around wasn't a hassle.
ข้อเสีย
There were only a handful of decent food spots near me, so if you’re big on trying lots of different local flavors without traveling, you might get a bit bored. It’s not the most walkable place, either; some streets don’t feel too friendly on foot, which meant I tended to take rides instead.
