Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our Chiang Mai graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and travelers who want to try something new. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on fun and creativity, ensuring that everyone walks away with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their artistic background.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'casual explorer' vibes! Since Chiang Mai can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend during our outdoor sessions. We’ll take care of all the art supplies, so just bring your energy!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our instructors are highly experienced and will teach you the proper way to handle spray cans to ensure a safe environment for everyone. We use high-quality paints and host our sessions in well-ventilated spaces, so you can focus entirely on your creative flow without any worries.

How long does the workshop experience last?

Standard tourist workshops in Chiang Mai typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, just let us know! We can often tailor the timing to fit your itinerary so you don't miss out on other Rose of the North highlights.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! One of the best parts of our Chiang Mai experience is that you get to create your artwork on a transportable canvas. This means you can let it dry, roll it up or pack it, and take a piece of Thailand’s urban culture back home with you. It’s the ultimate DIY souvenir that’s way more meaningful than anything you’ll find at a standard gift shop.

What is the maximum group size?

We love hosting groups! We can accommodate anything from solo travelers and couples to large tour groups or families. Whether you are traveling with a group of friends or looking to meet fellow backpackers, we have a setup that works. For larger groups, we even bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personalized attention and a high-quality experience.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in a stress-free booking experience for travelers. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your slot. You can pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience first. We accept local bank transfers and cash. This flexibility allows you to keep your travel budget liquid while exploring the beautiful streets of Chiang Mai.

Local culture

Chiang Mai is a city of layers—from the ancient brick walls of the Old City to the hidden galleries of Nimman. While it's famous for handicrafts, the street art scene here is exploding with talent, blending Lanna motifs with modern spray-paint styles. Our workshops take place in areas that capture this creative spirit, giving you a glimpse into a side of town most tourists never see.

Fun fact: Chiang Mai hosts several secret "graffiti jams" throughout the year where local and international artists transform abandoned spaces into temporary outdoor galleries! 🎨

By joining us, you aren't just taking a class; you're connecting with the urban heartbeat of Northern Thailand. We're proud to support the local artist community and share the vibrant, rebellious joy of Thai street culture with visitors from around the globe.
