Letting in Chiang Mai
Rules and licensing
The Hotel Act applies as elsewhere in Thailand, with under-30-day letting generally requiring a licence. Condominium by-laws commonly prohibit it.
Tourist tax
No general tourist tax at present.
How the year is shaped
November to February is the peak. Burning season from late February to April suppresses demand noticeably, and the rainy season is soft.
Who books here
A very large long-stay remote-worker segment — monthly bookings are the norm rather than the exception. Workspace and fibre wifi matter more than a pool.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
