Has anyone been to Chiang Mai recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
