Billboard ranking points
Scored by Blindspot's location intelligence on visibility, dwell time, and footfall (directional, 1–10). Every one is bookable by the hour on the platform.
Nimmanhaemin, the creative and digital-nomad district beside Chiang Mai University, packs the city's densest cafe, dining and going-out crowd.
The moated Old City around Tha Phae Gate and Wat Chedi Luang packs the heaviest tourist, temple and market crowd inside the ancient walls.
Huay Kaew Road, the main route toward Doi Suthep past Chiang Mai University and the Maya mall, carries the heaviest student, commuter and tourist traffic.
The Night Bazaar and Chang Klan Road pack the heaviest evening shopping, street-food and tourist crowd east of the moat.

Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.

Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Chiang Mai spreads across a northern Thai valley below the temple-topped Doi Suthep, the ancient Lanna capital and the Rose of the North, part backpacker hub, part digital-nomad and creative city. Mornings and evenings load the Superhighway ring, the airport road and Huay Kaew Road with commuters, students of Chiang Mai University and the tourist flow to Doi Suthep; midday and evening fill the moated Old City around Tha Phae Gate and Wat Chedi Luang, the Nimmanhaemin creative district and the Night Bazaar. Songthaew red trucks and buses run the streets. The cool season, Songkran and the Yi Peng lantern festival set the peaks. Buy the ring-road commute and the Old City and Nimman evening peak.
The Old City and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
The Night Bazaar and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Nimmanhaemin shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Chiang Mai doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Nimmanhaemin + The Old City | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Huay Kaew Road, The Old City | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | The Night Bazaar, Nimmanhaemin | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | The Superhighway ring, The Old City | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Nimmanhaemin, The airport | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Chiang Mai’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
