8. Old Thai Barber
Old Thai Barber is a vintage-style barbershop located in the Phra Sing area of Chiang Mai. It is a single-chair barbershop, and the hairstylist really takes his time to perfect his work. So, if you want a speedy grooming session, this may not be the best place for you.
On that note, it is best to schedule an appointment in advance.
Old Thai Barber also offers off-site services. Whether you want a haircut or a beard trim right in your home, hotel room, office, or anywhere else within Chiang Mai, just give them a ring to make arrangements with their barber.

9. California Barber and Gentleman Suit

Unlike other barbershops, California does include grooming services, particularly razor shaving. So, this can be a little bummer for those customers wanting a full-service makeover.
