options!

Read on to learn more about getting around Chiang Mai.

1. Red car/Songthaews
The most famous is the red two-row car that runs around Chiang Mai that we can hire (Can be worth
it if going a lot) or can be called on the way .Provide a lot of services by most of the indigenous
people who are skilled and up to use the service but for tourists it may be a little difficult. But this red
car or red four-wheeled car is still a good choice. Because it's easy to find and doesn't have to wait
long. At present, government agencies have come to try to control the fare to be fair and the same
standard is more, the fare price throughout the line is only 15 baht for the general public and 10 baht
for students.

(Songthaews (means 2 rows) operate as shared taxis, and they roam the streets picking up customers who are
frontage in the way they are travelling.)

2. White buses
Another cool piece of Chiang Mai Bus project, the same project that organized the red car. At the
same time ,they resurrected the white buses that had been closed to show off. Ready to use the service
again which, in addition to the brand new cars and air conditioners, is cool and trendy with the current
cycling strength with the installation of a bicycle hanging point in front of the car as well It's
convenient for people who really need to travel. Get the full heart of the new generation for this white
transportation. The fare is only 15 baht (adults) and 10 baht throughout the line (students, monks,
students) only.

(For a flat fee of 20 baht, you can catch the bus on a continuous route from Chiang Mai International Airport,
Suan Dok Hospital, Nimmanhaemin Road, Kad Suan Kaew, Chang Phueak Gate, Three Kings Monument,
Thapae Gate, Kad Muang Mai, Wat Gate, Night Bazaar and Wua Lai Road..)

3. Taxi
Going out to look good with a new level For traveling in Chiang Mai by taxi There are many
advantages such as convenience in case of having a lot of luggage. Comfort with soft cushions and
cool air. All of this makes traveling by taxi become increasingly popular in Chiang Mai.

Airport Taxi

Is a public bus service from Chet Yod Brothers Co., Ltd. The counter is located inside the airport
building. There is a fee of 50 baht from the airport and the fare is metered or paid separately. The
latest service fee is the first 2 km distance. The price is 50 baht, the distance is 2-12 kilometers. The
charge is 10 baht per kilometer, the distance is more than 12 kilometers.
(A specific pickup time is arranged and the route is straight to the destination you require as fast as possible for
a set fee..)

4. Van BTTS Chiang Mai


Can travel all over Chiang Mai by van BTTS will be available from 06.00 - 20.00 hrs. Drive through
42 important locations together, including department stores Educational institution Government
offices, markets, hospitals, tourist attractions and ends at Saraphi district All of this paid only 30 baht.
The whole line is now a new launch. So there is a promotion to appease the kind that reduces the fare
to 20 baht only. Very incredible value. This event indirectly doesn't matter, but thoroughly.

5. Tuk tuk
Tuk-tuk is, after songthaew, the second most common mode of transport in Chiang Mai. Compare to
songthaew, tuk-tuk is more expensive. Rate starts at 60 baht for a short trip and 100 to 150 baht for
longer distance. Regardless of who has tried, must sing the wow, oh wow song because it's super
fast.plus with the style of thrilling driving Chiang Mai. Tuk tuks are great way to beat the traffic. They
will take you wherever you want to go as they don’t have specific routes. .We can also find the
regular parking places of the tuk tuk at the arcade bus station. Bus Station No. 3, Chiang Mai Gate
Market Train Station Warorot Market and Department Store Including famous nightlife as well Fares
start at 60 - 80 baht, much less depending on distance. The tuk tuk is not a red car Even though Khum
Mueang was not discounted.


(Tuk Tuk’s are the open aired, three-wheeled auto-rickshaws that have seating for around 3 people, based and
built on a motorcycle chassis..)

6. Siam Sidecar
Usually, we are used to using trailers alongside food and water sales. In Chiang Mai, the trailer is
used to send people too The trailer next to this contract has a queue in front of the office of Mae Rim
District. Just waiting to receive - send passengers to various locations as agreed which is mostly
people who come with a queue car from the city when the queue car ran at the end of the line, the
District Officer then continued to ride the trailer next to the other place. Some travel back home and
some are tourists who want to travel to many tourist attractions in Mae Rim District. Fares start at 20 -
30 baht to hundreds. Depending on the distance, distance and rhetoric in negotiation.

7. Tricycle
Imagine in many retro plays, we will see a tricycle being used as a vehicle to transport people in the
past ,while the fact that this vehicle is almost lost in time .But the tricycle will not be the only scene in
the drama that is waiting for days to be forgotten by the people. Because now there is a project to ride
a new tricycle at Wiang Jiang. Take a tricycle to woo new Chiang Mai, with daily service 3 times a
day, starting at 10.00 - 12.30 hrs. / 14.00 - 16.30 hrs. / 13.00 - 15.30 hrs. In addition to helping tourist
to fully absorb the beauty of the old town

(There is also a part in helping to campaign and stretch the breath for the culture that is near to disappear..)
