Tourists shun soaked Chiang Mai

Quick Summary:

A month of flooding in the North has led to a dire low season in Chiang Mai this year, as tourists cancel plans and avoid the whole region, according to the Tourism Council of Chiang Mai.

He said the revival of the We Travel Together scheme would help drive the domestic market, but the programme should be divided into phases for each region, as the good times for travelling are different in the South, the North and the East.

He estimated average occupancy rates in September at only 50%, attributed to the flooding and economic uncertainty, which hampers tourism and spending.
