Chiang Mai travel tips

Unveiling Chiang Mai's Magnetic Allure

Nestled in the lush mountains of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a captivating blend of rich history and serene landscapes, drawing in travelers who crave more than just typical tourist cities. Its charm lies in its vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere where ancient temples brush shoulders with bustling street markets.

Whether you're strolling through the intricately designed Wat Phra Singh or bartering at the lively Sunday Night Market, Chiang Mai offers a unique tapestry of experiences that beckons repeat visits. Savvy Kiwi travelers book flights here to immerse themselves in a city that's as much about unwinding as it is about exploration.

Discover the allure of a destination where every alley whispers a story of the past, and every corner invites a new adventure.

First Steps in Chiang Mai: Where to Begin

After touching down in Chiang Mai, travelers often find themselves drawn to the city's core — the historic Old City. Encased within a moat and ancient walls, the area is home to some of the most jaw-dropping temples in Thailand. Begin your journey at the Wat Chedi Luang, whose grand ruins speak to a time gone by.

For a more local vibe, the Nimmanhaemin district is just a short ride away, known for its bohemian cafés and art galleries that bridge Thai tradition with modern creativity. And thanks to Kiwi.com's flexible flight options, you can arrive at the perfect time to enjoy a relaxed afternoon on a Dupour brandishing unique Thai dishes hot off the wok.

Navigating Flight Plans: Timing is Everything

To make the most of your journey, plan your flight to Chiang Mai during the cooler months of November to February when the weather is delightfully crisp. As the city hosts its famous Yi Peng Lantern Festival each November, booking about four to six weeks in advance offers a sweet spot for flight deals.

Utilize Kiwi.com's price alerts to pounce on the best fares, as it’s always key to securing a great value. If your travel dates are flexible, engage Kiwi.com's Nomad search tool to find cost-effective multi-city routes that can extend your adventure beyond Chiang Mai.

Arrival Insights: Airports and Airlines Demystified

Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) is your main gateway, conveniently located just a short 15-minute drive from the city center. With a mix of low-cost airlines like AirAsia and more premium carriers such as Thai Airways, travelers from hubs like Singapore or Kuala Lumpur are spoiled for choice.

To smoothly navigate from the airport, the red songthaews (shared taxis) offer genuine local charm and great value. Kiwi.com’s Disruption Protection ensures peace of mind, covering you from unexpected changes en route to this cultural haven.

Savvy Traveler Tips for Chiang Mai

  • Plan for Peaks: Traveling during Chiang Mai’s festivals can mean higher prices—set a Price Alert to catch a break.
  • Nomadic Itineraries: Use the Nomad search tool for multi-city trips extending beyond Northern Thailand.
  • Pack Wisely: Temperatures dip in November-February; layers are essential!
  • Cultural Courtesy: Dress modestly when visiting temples your shoulders and knees covered.
  • Kiwi's Flexibility: Harness Kiwi.com's smart layovers for layover tours in Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur en route.

Very pleasant impressions from the kiwi company! I have a large family and they found us 6 seats nearby for free. this was a very big and pleasant surprise. the flight was delayed by an hour and the company immediately sent an email to notify us about this. there was no information at the airport yet, we checked in our luggage and the kiwi company warned us that the flight was delayed, and after a while we found out this at the airport on the information board. I recommend!
