What are the best ways to get around Chiang Mai?

Tuk-tuks: Fun and convenient for short distances. Songthaews: Shared red trucks, affordable for longer trips. Bicycles: Many rental shops available for exploring at your own pace. Walking: Ideal for the old city area, with many sights close together. Motorbike rentals: Great for those comfortable with riding, but ensure you have a valid licence!

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Songthaews may operate as shared transport or as a negotiated private trip. Agree on the destination and fare before departure when the route is not obvious.
