A community-friendly, international-standard research clinic
PIMAN Clinic began operations on 2 April 2008 at Nimman Soi 13, in central Chiang Mai. The location was readily accessible to the clinic’s target populations. In its early years, PIMAN Clinic conducted research among men who have sex with men and transgender women. Focus-group discussions helped the research team understand the type of clinic and location these communities wanted. The team therefore sought a site that was easy to reach and convenient for both travel and access to services.
Monday–Friday, 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

On 30 April 2019, PIMAN Clinic relocated from its original site to the Sirimangkalajarn Road area, a vibrant community hub in central Chiang Mai, to make access more convenient for clients. The clinic also began operating as a healthcare facility providing HIV treatment, HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention, and counselling services.
PIMAN Clinic has now relocated to the Chiang Mai University campus, making its services more convenient for its target populations. The new facility continues to offer privacy in a clean and easily accessible setting. Services are provided by medical professionals with many years of experience and expertise.
