What should I know about using public transport apps in Chiang Mai?

• Public transport apps like 'Chiang Mai Transport' can help you understand bus routes and schedules.

• Be aware that not all buses have English signage, so using an app can assist with navigation.

• Some apps may offer real-time updates, making it easier to plan your journey.

• Consider downloading the app before arriving to familiarise yourself with its features.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Confirm current routes, fares, operating hours and pick-up arrangements before travelling. Build in extra time for traffic, weather and festival road closures, and keep the destination name or map pin available in Thai for drivers when practical.
