Recommendation Rate of Travel:
If coming to Chiang Mai in April, one must not miss the Songkran Festival falling on April 13-15. The main celebration site is the Thapae Gate. In addition to water splashing, float parade, Songkran Beauty Contest, and music concerts will be held. The Buddha will also be invited out of Wat Prah Singh, one of the holiest temples in Chiang Mai and get bathed by respected monks. You may go there a little earlier to tour around the temple first. At night, those night markets are great places for a food tour, including Thapae Night Market open on every Sunday, Wua Lai Rd Night Market open on every Saturday and Chang Klan Rd Night Market open every day. The surrounding mountains are great places to escape the hot days, such as Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon.
