What should I know about parking when renting a motorcycle in Chiang Mai?

• Street parking is common, but always look for designated motorcycle parking areas.

• Check for any signs indicating parking restrictions to avoid fines.

• Some places may require a parking fee, which is usually minimal.

• Keep your rental agreement and any identification with you when parking.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Only drive a car or motorcycle when your licence, insurance and experience are suitable for the vehicle and Thai road conditions. Wear a proper helmet on motorcycles, avoid mountain roads in poor visibility and never assume a rental agreement automatically provides adequate insurance.
