Common questions

When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
November to February (cool, dry, 15-28°C, clear skies). Avoid March-April (burning season — extreme air pollution). May-October is wet but cheaper and lush.
What is burning season?
February to April, farmers burn agricultural waste. Air quality drops dramatically (AQI 200-500). Visibility to mountains often gone. Many locals leave. Plan around this.
How long do you need in Chiang Mai?
Minimum 3 days for Old City temples, cooking class, and one day trip. A week lets you add a trek or elephant sanctuary properly.
Is Chiang Mai better than Bangkok?
Different worlds. Chiang Mai is calmer, cooler, mountainous, spiritual. Bangkok is intense, hot, urban. Most visitors do both.
