Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Chiang Mai has three seasons: the dry and cool season (from October to April), the rainy season (from July to October), and the dry and warm season (from April to June). That means the best period to explore Chiang Mai is definitely the dry and cool season; the temperature is pleasant enough to enjoy a long day of sightseeing. However, despite the high temperatures, reaching almost 40°C, many tourists decide to come during the middle of April to experience the Songkran festival, which celebrates the Thai New Year.
