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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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