Transport

Car And Motorcycle Rentals

    Competition is fierce among rental shops. A good car or motorcycle can be rented easily and cheaply. It helps to have an international driver’s license but it’s not necessary. All along the east end of the mote area, shops are open for business and signs and vehicles can be seen out front.

Public Transport

    Chiang Mai has public transportation and it is getting better. They’ve opened up several set bus lines that have become popular. Unlike other provincial cities, many of the songthaews (small trucks with bench seats in back) do not have set routes. You have to make inquiries about which way they are headed before you venture forth. Tuk-tuks abound and some able bargaining is necessary so you don’t get fleeced going around the corner.
