A road trip is calling, and San Phak Wan is a wonderful base to kick-start your Chiang Mai Province adventure. Situated 5 miles from the downtown area, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one our reliable rental vehicles. A full-size car will bring you in and around Chiang Mai Province in total comfort and style — or you might want to head off the beaten track and uncover hidden spots with a robust four-wheel drive. For getting around the city, we’d suggest renting an economy or compact car. They might not be as spacious, but they’ll be amazing at gliding into those tight parking spaces.
