About this audio guide
This guide to One Nimman in Chiang Mai follows Tan Passakornnatee, the entrepreneur who built the Oishi tea empire and then walked away from it in 2010, and why he chose to build a village-style square instead of another glass tower. It traces the mismatched architecture underfoot, borrowed from a thirteenth-century Nepalese valley and a fifteenth-century French market town, and stitched together with northern Thailand's own Lanna style. You'll also learn the real reason for the clock tower rising above the rooftops.
