Here, you will be met by a local community guide who will lead you on a one-and-a-half-hour walk through a hidden community behind the temple.

During the walk, you will learn about the life of a local street artist, Dr. Cas, who developed an art project to connect with the community and culture. Originally intended to create a pleasant environment for both locals and tourists, the area has now been transformed with art that tells its own story, making it uniquely different from other parts of Chiang Mai.

Wander from alley to alley, soaking up the vibrant street art and graffiti while learning how each piece relates to the community and its impact on the area. The walk concludes at a local wooden house studio called Addict Art, where a fun art workshop takes place. Be welcomed by Dr. Cas, who will guide you through various art techniques, from drawing to painting and spraying. The workshop lasts approximately one and a half hours, and snacks and drinks will be served.
