Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
Mae On is approximately 40 kilometers from Chiang Mai city center. Renting a car or hiring a private driver is recommended due to limited public transport. The winding roads offer a scenic drive for those who enjoy exploring the surrounding attractions at their own pace.
Best Season
The cool season (November to February) is the best time to visit, with pleasant weather perfect for outdoor activities and visiting local villages. Avoid the rainy season when some mountain roads may become slippery and difficult to navigate.
