smokie36 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi I'm thinking of making my first trip to Chiang Mai in late May or early June for a few days and just wondering if its a good time to visit...ie not the rainy season or swelteringly hot etc.... Also if anyone can recommend a decent centrally located hotel for around 1000 Baht a night I would be grateful. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSabai Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 ^ What he said. Was there last May and it was minimum 37 - 38 every day and no rain. Humidity was not as oppressive as here in the south, but hot is hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulwy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 But never mind the rain! It doesn't rain for a day, not even half a day! And everything smells so nice after a rainfall and the trees and plants are beautiful green. For your info: I know quiet a few people leaving CM for March until June and they come back when the rainy season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 IMO rainy season is the best time to visit Chiang Mai. Schedule trip for late June, early July for beautiful days and light showers some evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 IMO rainy season is the best time to visit Chiang Mai. Schedule trip for late June, early July for beautiful days and light showers some evenings. I agree......May can be really uncomfortable. The rainy season's quite refreshing and it doesn't rain all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 June is one of the best months of the year. (After the winter months). It sucks not getting significant rain for 6 months.. When the first rain falls, (which is usually just a 1 hour event in the afternoon or evening), it really helps nature, and some green returns to the landscape. So you get some rain to cool things down, but not the prolonged rain that you get later on in the rainy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Awesome just like the other 10 months of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks to everyone for the replies and via PM. Looks like we'll be staying a few days around the 10th June or a bit later so hopefully there will be a spattering of rain by then....really looking forward to the visit!

Richbrown Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 what everyone else said. I know some people hate it during raining season but i really like it. It doesn't last all that long normally and its very refreshing after it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
