Hotels near Chiang Mai International Airport - CNX, Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is one of the best city we visited in Thailand. The city still holds the old culture in terms of its gates, markets, old buildings, temples and some nearby locations which are a must visit. We visited the night markets which had so much opportunities for shop, the city is connected in a square which you can bike around as well. Stay at Buri Gallery. Visit Mae Kampong Village, see how the villagers live and survive with their means of tourism. Try to stay a night there as well. Drive to Mae Rae district for a picturesque sunsets and sunrise over the hills. If season is right you get to visit the Flower garden as well. There are numerous elephant sanctuary but visit Living Green, they are the most ethical and when we visited the elephants had freedom to do their way and felt like you are coming to their home to meet them. The Living Green Team takes good care of the elephants and make sure the guests have good experience with ample informations about all the elephants. The team is multilingual as well. I would for my next time hire a good car for entirety of my stay so that I can travel well.

Our trip to Chiang Mai was good. Enjoyed our stay at the Kum Phaya resort. The resort was amazing and the staff were friendly. The resort organises Cultural show and dinner which was not published in Booking.com. We came to know about it at the reception. Had we known about it we would have booked the cultural show and dinner at our Resort, rather than travelling by taxi to the Old Chiang Mai cultural centre. In my view this should be promoted in booking.com. We have not completed our tour and hence unable to comment further.

Travel outside Chiang Mai there’s lots to see and lovely people to meet We went house hunting and there’s lots of options There are also serviced apartments $200/ month and very good places House typically fur sale see pics below

Chiang Mai has its own charm. The highest mountain in Thailand is found there where the King and Queen pagodas on manicured gardens are perfect for photos. If you like interacting with cute and friendly elephants, immerse yourself in their natural habitat right in the jungles by staying at least a night at Chai Lai Orchid. Meet and learn about the Karen tribe too.

Chiang Mai is a lovely old city that still retains character. It has many temples, and some of the old city walls and moat remain. Great restaurants. Easy flights in and out. close to Laos and the Golden Triangle.

It is a wonderful part of Thailand and great place to enjoy. Just remember that to get around this city the red Ute buses are not like the blue Ute buses of Pattaya. Price for use seems to differ with the driver and they tell you when to get off. So it is safer to use Uber.
