What is the best way to plan a trip to see waterfalls around Chiang Mai?

Start by choosing a few key waterfalls to visit, like the popular Mae Sa and Wachiratharn waterfalls. Plan your routes and check the distances to maximize your day.

• Consider renting a motorbike or car for flexibility, and pack essentials like water and snacks. Early mornings are ideal for fewer crowds and better lighting for photos.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Check weather, road conditions, fitness requirements, footwear, insurance and the provider's safety practices before setting out. Mountain conditions can change faster than conditions in the city, and mobile coverage may be limited in some areas.
