Current pricing for Chiang Mai:

Short Time: Budget $41-98, Mid $78-182, Premium $212+
Long Time/Overnight: $141-325
Massage with extras: $30-118

These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Locals pay significantly less.

Tipping is optional but earns you better service.

Best value: local areas away from tourist strips.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?
