About Us
Welcome to chiangmaitraveller.com! We’re a small, passionate crew of writers, mapmakers, and researchers dedicated to exploring, blogging, and helping others travel.
Our mission is to deliver the most helpful travel content on the internet for discovering the beautiful and interesting places in Northern Thailand. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or are a returning traveler, our goal remains the same: to help you uncover the authentic, hidden, and amazing experiences that Chiang Mai and its surrounding areas offer.

Chiangmaitraveller.com started in 2009 when we first shared a short guide to visiting Chiang Mai by train, and we’ve been growing and sharing our love for this region ever since.
Chiang Mai’s unique blend of culture, nature, and adventure is something we deeply appreciate.
As locals who call this vibrant city home, we created Chiang Mai Traveller to share its authentic spirit with you. Our writers and editors are dedicated to offering travel insights rooted in genuine local knowledge, aiming to provide a richer perspective than standard travel media often presents.
Beyond guiding travelers, we also actively support Chiang Mai’s small businesses, helping them connect with visitors and expand their online presence. Ultimately, our goal is to equip you with insider tips and personalized recommendations for a seamless and truly enriching journey.

Tourists can enjoy an immersive experience in Chiang Mai by joining a cooking class, where you’ll learn to make authentic Thai dishes.
We believe travel should go beyond the typical tourist path. Our guides will help you with:
Cultural Immersion: Explore ancient and beautiful temples like Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and Wat Chedi Luang. Learn about the history of the Lanna Kingdom. Experience fun and meaningful traditions like the Songkran water festival and the Loy Krathong lantern festival.
Nature & Adventure: Discover green forests and visit peaceful national parks such as Doi Inthanon. Participate in ethical and responsible activities, like visiting elephant sanctuaries that prioritize the animals’ well-being.
Local Experiences: Learn to cook authentic Thai dishes in hands-on classes. Relax with a traditional Thai massage. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of local markets and the unique culture of hill tribe villages.
Tailored Itineraries: Whether you’re looking for a peaceful spiritual retreat, an exciting adventure, or a delicious culinary exploration, we can create customized tours to fit your interests and your own pace.

Chiang Mai is famous for its unique night markets, offering a vibrant experience unlike any other part of Thailand. We provide the travel information to help you explore them.
At Chiang Mai Traveller, we value authenticity, sustainability, and supporting the local community. Our recommendations come from firsthand experiences and a commitment to helping local businesses and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Chiang Mai.
We aim to be more than just a travel guide – we want to be your companion in creating truly memorable experiences. If you have any questions, comments, or just want to talk about travel (our favorite subject) send us an email any time at [email protected].
