Zoe in Yellow

Zoe in Yellow is an open-air nightlife complex at the head of the bar strip on Ratvithi Road, in the northeast corner of Chiang Mai's Old City. It is split into zones, with chill-out seating, an outdoor dance floor and an air-conditioned indoor club.

The indoor room plays electronic, hip hop and chart music, while the outdoor area often has live cover bands playing rock or blues, plus occasional fire dancers. Small beers run around 100 to 120 baht, cocktails around 200 baht, and buckets are the usual group order.

The crowd is mainly young travellers with some local students and expats. It is quiet before 9pm, fills from about 10pm and peaks after midnight. Opening hours are 5pm to 1:30am daily, and IDs are checked.
