How does the rainy season affect travel plans in Chiang Mai?

The rainy season in Chiang Mai (June to October) can impact travel plans:

- Frequent afternoon showers

- Possible flooding in some areas

- Lower tourist crowds

- Lush green scenery and lower accommodation rates

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: For weather and air quality, check a current forecast and a live air-quality source shortly before the activity. Northern Thailand can experience strong seasonal variation, and conditions differ between the city, foothills and higher mountains.
