There is also GrabFood for delivering Northern Thai dishes and food from popular Chiang Mai eateries <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">directly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to your hotel, and GrabMart for ordering everyday essentials wherever you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download the Grab app and start pinning your favourite places to visit in Chiang Mai.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Q: <\/b><b>When visiting mountains outside the city, such as Doi Inthanon or Doi Ang Khang, should I use GrabRent or book separate rides? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Destinations such as Doi Inthanon, around 100 kilometres from the city, and Doi Ang Khang, as far as 160 kilometres away, are outside the areas where <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on-demand <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cars are readily available. If you book one ride at a time, you may struggle to find a car for the return journey or face a long wait. We recommend booking GrabRent, a car with a driver who will be ready to pick you up at your scheduled time, so you can explore at a relaxed pace without rushing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q: <\/b><b>Will I have to wait long for a Grab back down from Doi Suthep in the evening? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: The road up Doi Suthep is a long mountain route from the city, so fewer cars are available there than in town, especially in the evening when many visitors head down at the same time. We recommend requesting a ride 15\u201320 minutes before you leave the temple. Alternatively, to avoid any uncertainty, book GrabRent so a driver is on hand from the start of your trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q:<\/b><b>I want to try Northern Thai food without leaving my hotel. Can I order through Grab? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Yes, you can order through GrabFood, which offers an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extensive <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selection of Northern Thai restaurants and popular Chiang Mai eateries, from khao soi (curry noodle soup) and sai ua (Thai herb sausage) to caf\u00e9s in the Nimman area. For travel essentials such as basic medicines or snacks for your room, you can also order through GrabMart for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quick <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delivery to your hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q: <\/b><b>I&#8217;ve bought more souvenirs at Kad Luang than I can carry. Can Grab help deliver them? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: You can use GrabExpress to send parcels from wherever you are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">straight <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">back to your hotel, so you do not have to carry souvenirs around all day. This is especially convenient if you shop in the morning and still have plans for the afternoon. Please check the accepted parcel sizes and item types <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guidelines <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the app before using the service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q: How do I get from Chiang Mai Airport to the city?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Chiang Mai International Airport is only about 4\u20135 kilometres from the city centre. The most convenient option is to book a GrabCar or JustGrab through the Grab app; the journey to the Old City or Nimman takes just 10\u201315 minutes.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiang Mai never disappoints.
