About Chiang Mai, Thailand
Chiang Mai is located in the northern mountains of Thailand. As a result, the weather is tropical, warm and humid year round, with some cooler nights from December thru February. So it is important to dress for the climate, but also dress for the conservative culture when we are outside of Jintara on excursions or dining out.
Most days will be hot, and over 30 degrees, so you will never need any really warm clothing. Nights on average will be around 24 degrees, but may drop as low as 12 degrees in January.
Your room will have air conditioning and your personal laundry will be done 3 times per week, so the best rehab packing advice I can give, is pack light and bring light clothing.
Anything you forget, we can easily purchase in Chiang Mai.
