What is the best way to get around Chiang Mai city?

• Tuk-tuks are a popular choice for short distances and can be hired easily.

• Songthaews, which are shared red trucks, offer an affordable way to travel around the city.

• Bicycles can be rented for a more leisurely exploration of the area.

• Walking is also a great option in the city centre, as many attractions are close to each other.

• Consider using ride-hailing apps for convenience and ease of transport.

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.
