RTW Trip Day #55: Chiang Mai Coconut Market and a Wicked Cinema Outing!

22 November 2025

Steps: 6,030

This morning we headed to the Coconut Market which only runs on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. Later in the afternoon we gave the girls a treat and took them to watch Wicked For Good at the cinema.

The Chiang Mai Coconut Market

The Chiang Mai Coconut Market is a lovely artisan market set amongst tall coconut trees, and it’s a great place to find higher quality crafts and clothing.

It’s also a good spot to eat, with stalls serving skewers, salads, fresh fruit juices, and coffee.

They’ve leaned into the IG trend, and there are plenty of well placed swings that are pretty photogenic - none of them were too busy though, so we managed to snap a few quick photos of the girls (and even Susie)!

SFX Cinema at Maya Lifestyle Mall

We had been hoping to catch a movie for the last few weeks, but there hadn’t been any kids films the girls wanted to see at the cinema. When Wicked For Good came out a few days ago, we decided to treat them to a movie and some familiar food.

Before the show, we found an American restaurant called Dukes for dinner. It was about as far from Asian food as you can get! The girls ordered mac and cheese, and we went for pizza, and it was actually really nice to have something familiar for a change.

A quick word of warning for anyone watching a movie in Asia, the trailers are not matched to the age rating of the film. We had two very much 18+ trailers come on, and we had to take the girls out with fingers in their ears before bringing them back in!

Once we settled back in our seats, the girls absolutely loved the movie, and more than anything it felt nice to do something familiar together. Zootopia 2 is released next week, so we’ll probably be back at the cinema at some point on this trip to watch that too.

After the film we headed back to the hotel to pack and get an early night. We fly to Bangkok tomorrow to meet up with my parents, which we are very excited about.

They’ll be travelling with us for two weeks through Bangkok, Ko Lanta and then Bali. Exciting!
