MRToMRT Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Is CM (and CR) now fully OK for visitors, are hotels and guest houses open? Seems a silly question but I was thinking of visiting for a few weeks to get out of BKK for some cooler weather and I realised I had no idea what the situation is up there.

sqwakvfr Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I used the gym at the Lotus Hotel and so far during the "Grand Reopening" it has looked like a ghost town even though it open(Agoda has specials for this hotel and many others in CNX). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arick Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Many people are thinking of getting out of CM and going to places like KK where there is less virus. Many people in CM are not vaccinated. A lawyer took the virus to the courts so they are all online again. The land offices are empty. Central Festival was busy. I saw and heard about three planes a day planes a day. Buy you hsve to remember we just had a long weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alant Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Can you come? Yes. Open? legally not a lot, no bars. no pubs, many wats closed, many national parks closed, markets closed but the city is open... Fancy staying out of town? https://www.tepinbaanlek.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CM Dad Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 Of course you can come, but Chiang Mai is pretty much a shuttered city. There is no more Night Bazaar, no more Walking Streets, very few restaurants and hotels are open, and most tourism related sights and businesses are closed. There is nothing to do, nowhere to go, and nothing to see. Bring some reading material. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... most CM residents live in the many suburbs of CM. Day to day life is fairly normal in the suburbs now. Tourists are still gonna stay close to the moat or Nimman which, as a "local", I never visit anyway, so closed or not it doesn't affect me. When I drive through town on occasion it is still looking pretty dire. Are there any tourist destinations in Thailand that are not effectively dead right now?

DrPhibes Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Suburbs are kinda back to normal except trying to get a drink with your meal. You basically to the nudge, nudge, wink, wink to ask for a beer. Tired of being hit on by Katoey waiters in response... Please allow drinks with dinner at least in CM.

ChaiyaTH Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 CM is open as usual, if vaccinated hassle free travel and if not needing to take a test first. Other than that no limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
