What should I know about packing for Chiang Mai's weather if I'm visiting during the cooler months?

Visiting Chiang Mai from November to February means you'll experience cooler temperatures, especially in the mornings and evenings. It's best to pack layers like light jackets or sweaters to keep comfortable.

• During the day, however, it can still be warm, so light clothing is also a good idea. This way, you're prepared for both chilly and warm moments throughout the day.

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.
