Bangkok--8 Dec--TQPR
Lush, emerald-green foliage to vibrant streets filled with culinary gems and art galleries within nooks and crannies in the town-- Chiang Mai is a whole world waiting to be discovered. That's the secret behind more than 3,200 travellers and locals flocking to Chiang Mai Design Week and staying at hosts on Airbnb. And this is an increase of 30% from last year's festival. Between waking up from the comforts of a creatively designed home to attending hosted talks, travellers and locals alike are finding inspiration in this ever-evolving golden city.
In the recent years, we've seen a growth of 72% inbound travel to Chiang Mai, with 143,000 inbound guest arrivals the past year. With an average price of THB 1,010 per night per guest, Airbnb offers guests a more sustainable way to travel, also allowing travellers to live in diverse neighborhoods and get authentic recommendations directly with their local hosts.
