Given the availability of modern internet technologies such as AI, GPS navigation, and translation apps, on the one hand, and the convenience of internet access and ride-hailing services in Chiang Mai, on the other, many chapters in this TRANSPORTATION blog (i.e., the next post of this blog) are no longer relevant to most readers.
🔹 If you find yourself temporarily or permanently without a vehicle (car or motorbike), we recommend using a ride-hailing service (Grab, inDrive or Bolt). These services are versatile and very reliable, significantly cheaper than taxis, and more convenient than a song-thaeo, tuk-tuk, or saleng. If you need any information on this, you’ll find it in Chapter 2 of the next post on this blog.
🔹 If you’re travelling by car or motorbike and can reach your destination with or without a sat-nav, you probably won’t need any further information from this blog – you may just need directions on how to find Baan Sammi. The blog, "HOW TO FIND BAAN SAMMI?", will help with this.
🔹 In other situations, for example if you find yourself in any of the following scenarios, this TRANSPORTATION blog might be helpful:
You arrive by plane at Chiang Mai International Airport; you arrive by train at Chiang Mai railway station; you arrive by long-distance coach at the Arcade Bus Terminal in Chiang Mai; you wish to hire a vehicle (car, motorbike, bicycle) in Chiang Mai; you want to choose a private chauffeur service for tours within and outside Chiang Mai; you want to find out about specific routes, e.g., how to get from Baan Sammi via low-traffic country roads to Chiang Mai, Doi Saket or Bo Sang; you want to understand how the public song-thaeo services work, particularly between Baan Sammi and Chiang Mai.
