I imagine some of the rivers might be a little rough for bamboo rafting now, and other small ones may be just perfect.

Best not to do white water rafting; that can be a dangerous activity in the rainy season.

Maybe so, but the rafting trips I have done so far have been closed in the dry season, and even in the wet season they have sometimes had to boost the rivers through opening dams. Is there suxh a thing as dry season whitewater rafting? Wouldn't that be about as exciting as crawling over moist rocks?

Hey everyone,

I am a swedish tourist currently hanging out in Vietnam and I have booked airline tickets to Chiang Mai for the 2nd of september. What kind of conditions should we expect? Is this a poor time to visit CM? Will trecking tours, elephant riding, whitewater rafting and that touristy stuff be operating? Given the news, we are considering trying to rebook for elsewhere in Thailand. In case you advice me not to come to CM, can you suggest a better place to go? We are looking for a combination of shopping and adventure holidy for about a week on our honeymoon.

Hoping for a fast review of the current situation in CM,

Best,

Anna
