Frequently Asked Questions

What temples should I visit in Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai’s list of must-visit temples, or ‘wats’, is a long one. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep looks over the city from Mount Suthep, and was built to enshrine a bone fragment from Buddha’s shoulder. Wat Phra Singh, meanwhile, is home to an incredible mosaic sanctuary and glittering Lion Buddha.

Can I rent a motorcycle or moped in Chiang Mai?

Scooter hire is popular in Chiang Mai, and there are plenty of rental shops around the old city and Tha Phae Gate in particular. Always choose an established, reputable company and an undamaged bike, and check if your travel insurance covers you – the accident rate is high.

Expert Tips

Chiang Mai

“Read up on the local customs before you arrive. It can be easy to offend – little things like touching someone on the head or pointing your finger are big no-no’s in Thailand.”
