A songtaew (song-tow) aka red truck, is a great way to get around Chiang Mai, but did you know you can rent one and its driver for the day?! It can also be much cheaper than renting a car.
A songtaew can also hold more people! Up to ten adults can safely sit in the back and one or two up front. Maybe you’ve made friends who would like to join you on an adventure.
Who doesn’t love taking a train?! It’s such a cool experience, especially for children, whose memories will last a lifetime.
Taking the train in Thailand can provide you with a whole new family experience and views of the flat and mountainous countryside are spectacular.
Hiring your own driver is a much more flexible option for any group of travelers or families. Go where you want to go. Go at your own pace. Spend as long as you want on your adventure.
Grab is hands down the most convenient and affordable way to get around town. Learn where to get the app and how to use Grab to go from place to place, or even order food!
