Hotels in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

Chiang Mai is a mountainous province in northern Thailand, famous for its ancient temples, bustling night markets, and ethical elephant sanctuaries. The climate has three distinct seasons: the cool winter (November to February, 60-85°F / 15-30°C) is perfect for hiking to Doi Suthep and exploring the Old City's moat and gates, while the hot summer (March to May, 75-95°F / 24-35°C) is ideal for visiting the Sunday Walking Street market on Ratchadamnoen Road. During the rainy season (June to October, 70-90°F / 21-32°C), you can join a Thai cooking class in the Nimmanhaemin area or volunteer at an elephant sanctuary like Elephant Nature Park, plus you'll score cheaper hotel rates.
