Best time to travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand?

Hi, I'm a veterinary student traveling to Thailand to work with some dairy farmers and also at the Elephant Conservation centers in Chiang Mai. I will be there for 4 wks, and can travel anytime between May 12, 2004 and Jan 30, 2005.

What would be the best 4 wk block to travel, taking into consideration weather, cheap airfare, and any special events?

I believe that right now is the best time of the year to be in Chiangmai. Temperatures are very liveable with and rain is essentially non-existent. The nights and early morning can be cold, particularly up in the hills, but should not worry anyone from a temperate climate.

i generally think that the best time from what you have listed would be from late october to the end of the year...the weather is the best then and the coolest....and that is not very cool....

I am flying from RDU, NC... but can also fly from LAX as I have family close by. Either way, I figure no matter where I am traveling from there are months when airfare is more expensive going to Chiang Mai, right?
