Answer
• Light, breathable clothing suitable for warm weather, but include a light jacket for cooler evenings.
• Comfortable walking shoes for exploring towns and nature.
• Sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent for protection against sun and bugs.
• A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your travels.
• Snacks for the road, especially if you plan to visit remote areas.
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.
