In this post, I list 20 quick tips and recommendations for what you can do with kids in Chiang Mai. The city is perfect for having family fun, and it was recently awarded the prize as the friendliest city in the world by the readers of Conde Nast’s Traveller magazine. As you might already know, Chiang Mai has been a constant favourite city for long-stay tourism, “workation “, and digital nomads.

But is Chiang Mai opening? Well, we have to wait and see. According to the rollout of Thailands opening plan for tourism, there are indications that parts of Chiang Mai should extend under the Charming Chiangmai scheme in September.
