Chiang Mai - Getting Around
Public Transport
Public transport in Chiang Mai is cheap and reasonably efficient, comprising a network of buses, songthaews (see below) and other small carriers. A simple air-conditioned bus system has started in the city and covers five routes around the main destinations. Route numbers are displayed in western numerals and the fare is paid to the conductor depending on your destination. Most free newspapers include a map of the routes.

Car Hire
Foreigners need an international driver's licence to hire a car, although most companies will accept national licences, and the smaller agencies may not actually ask for any proof at all. International agencies will accept credit card details as security whilst small agencies may want a cash deposit and to hold on to your passport.
