Current planning state

This page keeps identity, related pages, source notes, and practical checks together for this place or transport node.

AQI dependency

Chiang Mai is the clearest example of a destination whose value rises or falls with PM2.5 and smoke.

Culture density

Temples, markets, cafes, and northern-food depth give Chiang Mai a strong indoor and low-speed backup pattern.

Mountain fragility

Roads, rain, and smoke can make mountain-edge add-ons like Pai or viewpoints a worse fit than the city itself.

These sources identify, describe, or validate this entity. Observation feeds now attach through the live ledger where a connector already exists, and the source trail shows which records are trustworthy enough to join next.

What to verify today

  • Treat sustained PM2.5 as the main breaker.
  • Choose Old City or Nimman based on trip shape, not a random deal.
  • Keep Bangkok or the coast as a real pivot if smoke stays high.
