What should I pack for a trip to Chiang Mai considering the weather?

• Light, breathable clothing for daytime temperatures.

• A warm layer or jacket for cooler evenings, especially from November to February.

• An umbrella or raincoat if visiting during the rainy season (June to October).

• Comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city.

• Sunscreen and a hat to protect against the sun during 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.
