Hello from Chiang Mai International Airport. I’ve just finished my 2-month stay here, and I am on my way to Vietnam. I haven’t written much about Chiang Mai, but I have some articles in the draft box. One of the future posts will be about the absurdity of Chiang Mai building a second airport.

To prepare myself for upcoming Chiang Mai articles, this week’s main article is Future Chiang Mai. The Future series are fact sheets listing the major projects of each city.
