How to get to the City Centre

Getting from the airport to Chiang Mai's city centre is quite convenient. You can choose between several options such as taxis, which are the most direct and straightforward way, or use the airport shuttle bus which connects the airport with various central locations. There are also tuk-tuks available for a more local experience, though they may take a bit longer and cost more than the bus.

Public transportation

Chiang Mai's public transportation system predominantly consists of songthaews, which are red mini-trucks that operate on fixed routes. There are no mass transit trains or buses, but these songthaews are a popular way to get around. Tourist travel passes aren't typically available, so you pay per trip. Negotiating the fare before the ride is recommended when using tuk-tuks or songthaews.

Travelers to Chiang Mai should carry lightweight, breathable clothing, as the climate can be hot and humid. Always carry cash, as not all places accept cards. Try local street food but ensure it's cooked fresh to avoid any stomach issues. It's also worth learning a few basic Thai phrases, like 'Sawasdee' for hello and 'Khop Khun' for thank you.

Chiang Mai is generally safe for tourists, but like any place, visitors should be cautious of pickpocketing in crowded areas. Make sure to have travel insurance that covers health emergencies. The emergency number in Thailand is 191. It's also wise to drink bottled water to avoid any potential health issues.

Local customs and etiquette

When visiting Chiang Mai, it's important to dress modestly, especially when visiting temples. Remove your shoes before entering a temple or someone's home. Use a wai, a slight bow with hands pressed together, for greetings, and always say 'Khop Khun' to show gratitude. Tipping is appreciated but not expected in restaurants.
