Local Travel within Chiang Mai

Here is a plentiful supply of red taxies (which hold up to 10 people each) and tuktuks (which can carry at most 4 people) outside the hotel.  A trip to the Thapae Gate-Loi Kroh Road area, where there are night markets, Buddhist temples, Thai boxing, and many restaurants, massage shops and bars, takes 15-20 minutes and costs about 100-200 baht (total) in a tuktuk and 20 baht per passenger in a red bus.
