laawaaris Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Would it be possible to do Chiang Mai in a single day ? I am undecided whether to see Chiang Mai because of time restrictions and a desire to see the beaches. If we fly from Bangkok on the early morning flight and then spend the whole day in Chiang Mai will we be able to see everything there ? We would stay one night in Chiang Mai and fly out the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamer Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Everything no. A little yes. It's rather missing the point though IMHO. CM is as much about the feeling, vibe, call it what you will, as the sights, that you certainly are not going to appreciate in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with roamer, and it is very worthwhile to experience the feeling, the vibe of Chiang Mai. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Go to the beach. You would be waisting your time and money for only 24 hours in Chiang Mai. You need at least 5 days and nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrilled Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 ya didn't read it very good.he's talking about going to the beaches and also visiting CMI.Ya need to read betwwe the lines. To answer the question,I don't believe hardly 5 days is long enough time.I would say at least A week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msg362 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yes, the OP could not decide between going south to the beaches and the north, Chiang Mai, Actually Chiang Mai does have it's very own beach!! at Huay Tung Tao!!( admittedly it can't compare with Jomtien!)

moe666 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 As many already said why waste your money, Chiang Mai is about the area as well as the city. Come back when you have more time to enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'd forget the beaches and do CM instead, more to see, infinitely more interesting, far fewer idiot tourists, and probably cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Able Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It will probably be best to give Chaing Mai at least 5 days, or more, to get any real appreciation of the place. It's a great place and I would personally give it much higher marks than Pattaya / jontiem as a holiday destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
