The Experience

Stepping off the plane in Chiang Mai, I felt that sticky warmth hit right away—classic northern Thailand. After a long flight, it’s honestly a relief to spot someone at arrivals holding up my name on a sign. Our rep was easy to find, just past the glass doors where everyone waits with their luggage carts and iced coffee from the little café on the left.

We waited a bit for other travelers—flights sometimes land close together, so there can be a short pause while everyone clears customs. Not bad though; I chatted with another couple about their plans while our driver loaded bags into the minibus. The van was cool inside (thank goodness for air-con), and there was space for my suitcase plus a welcome pack with emergency contacts and some tips on local spots. The drive into town is pretty quick unless you hit school traffic, but our driver knew some shortcuts through quieter streets lined with food stalls already setting up for dinner.

The transfer includes one bag per person. If you have more or something oversized, let us know ahead of time so we can try to fit it in.
