Rainy season in Chiang Mai — why I book May–October on purpose

Everyone warns you about burning season in March — I wrote that post too. Almost nobody talks about rainy season (roughly May–October) except to say "avoid." I come back every year in June on purpose. Different trade-offs. Different Chiang Mai.

March in Chiang Mai — what burning season actually feels like Third nomad winter here. November–January is perfect. March is different: hazy skyline, sore throat by afternoon, IQAir above 150 for a week straight. I mask outside, purifier on at home, and keep a flight bookmarked south. Not saying don't come — just plan for it. Arm's full local guide covers timing and escapes better than I can in one post: Chiang Mai travel guide →

PSA for planners: burning season Feb–April is rough. I left in March last year — AQI over 150, wore N95 daily. Nov–Feb is golden. If you must come in March, check IQAir daily and have an escape plan (south or islands).
