Christmas Fair. I tried to go on the weekend but gave up due to the insane traffic. Apparently they were offering a chance to win iPhones as well, driving even more Thais to visit.

Is it possible to order Bolt car for pickup from CM Airport?
lordblackader replied to SiamAndy's topic in Chiang Mai
Sponsored by Grab, but it's open to other ride-hailing apps. If you read the post from CNX where the picture came from, it specifically says, in Thai, that it's for all ride-hailing apps. As for the rest of it, you're talking about the past. Ride-hailing apps became legal in 2021 and the battles between Grab drivers and rod daeng and taxis in Chiang Mai pre-date COVID. -
In what areas around Chiang Mai do cyclists live?
lordblackader replied to NHBOB's topic in Chiang Mai
Get away from the city and the main highways and there are various places to ride - for example, back areas of San Sai and Doi Saket and up towards Mae Kuang Dam are relatively safe for riding. -

See the picture below - that's the legal pickup point for ride hailing apps launched at CNX last month - more pictures per the link. It's neither illegal nor discouraged. -
Deadly Explosion at Fireworks Factory in Chiang Mai
lordblackader replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News

Night Venue Operators Say 4 A.M. Closure Will Greatly Boost Revenue
lordblackader replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Now just wait until they find out they can't sell alcohol until 4 a.m. and see what they have to say. -
They don't enforce the current laws, such as burning bans and it being illegal to start fires in national parks, protected forests and wildlife reserves. Unless they're actually going to try to enforce the new act, the new Clean Air Act is less useful than toilet paper.

Airport taxi to Doi Saket should be a fixed price of around 400/450 baht. Cheaper alternative would be InDrive.

Airport Taxis from CNX don't use the meter, they run on fixed prices.

Nana bakery as others have said - multiple locations but long term, have you considered making it yourself? Bread makers are not expensive and easy to use - guaranteed you won't have issues if you bake it yourself.

Is there a Chiang Mai Forum? & wet markets for vegetables
lordblackader replied to cubism001's topic in Chiang Mai
The harder challenge would be traveling further than 1km in Chiang Mai and not finding a wet market - they're everywhere, including in the outer metro area. -
No problems at the Mae Sai border - it has been closed since July.

Aside from the novelty of the Koi, there's nothing exciting about the place or the food. Much better places for a feed.
