What is Chiang Mai Old Town?

Chiang Mai old town is one of the most sort after tourist destinations in Northern Thailand. If you like to explore amazing vacation places with tons of outdoor things to do, you might want to visit this less crowded ancient city up north.
The “Rose Of The North” can easily be accessed from Bangkok and is defined geographically by numerous mountain ranges that stretch from Myanmar’s Shan Hills to Laos as well as the deep valleys that cut across them.
So, why travel to Chiang Mai Thailand? I would recommend checking this beautiful city known for its affordable boutique hotels, sumptuous traditional food, visiting uncrowded tourist places and the list goes on.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
The best time to visit Chiang Mai is from May to October. This is the time when tourist places are not crowded and accommodations are cheaper. However, March to April is the season when farmers burn their crops and the air gets pretty polluted.
November air is cooler and signals the end of the rainy season. Doi Ithanon and Sunflower Bloom are the top attractions on this timeline. On the flip side, November to end February is the peak season whereby hotel’s prices are higher and locals flock to this northern city.

If you visit on the weekend, you’ll have even more activities at the night bazaar with the entire evenings dedicated to exploring, shopping, munching and taking in the sights…
