November is thought to be the ideal month to travel as temperatures hover around 30 degrees and the festival season gets into gear. Bear in mind that when festivals, such as Loy Krathong, are on hotel prices tend to rise. For a budget trip October or March might be just right.
Getting around Chiang Mai
For a quintessentially Thai experience, you can navigate the streets of Chiang Mai via tuk-tuk (a cross between a small van and a moped). They are plentiful and cheap, but be sure to arrange a price before leaving. Other options include vans with covered areas for passengers (known as “songthaews”), as well as privately rented cars. Cycle-powered “samlors” are also a common sight and a relaxing way to see the city.
