Chiang Mai holds twelve quests across six categories, led by Food with three โ€” though only just, with two in Art behind it. The one category with nothing in Chiang Mai so far is Beach. Two of them are tier 1 โ€” finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other ten are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers nine of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Chiang Mai quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) โ€” two in Chiang Mai - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) โ€” two in Chiang Mai - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) โ€” two in Chiang Mai - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) โ€” three in Chiang Mai - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) โ€” one in Chiang Mai - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) โ€” two in Chiang Mai --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The two quests in Chiang Mai the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures โ€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Baan Kang Wat](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJdxPPqzUx2jARn86GcuRsD1s) Small studios share one leafy courtyard Art - [Wat Umong](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJnWhAb3A62jARWVBZnaOa7-0) A forest hill hides brick meditation tunnels History --- Nearby ## Cities near Chiang Mai Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Bangkok 26 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/th/bangkok) - [Da Nang 9 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/vn/da-nang) - [Ho Chi Minh City 11 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/vn/ho-chi-minh-city) - [Hong Kong 5 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/hk/hong-kong) - [Agra 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/in/agra) - [Jaipur 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/in/jaipur) --- Questions ## About quests in Chiang Mai ### How many photo quests are there in Chiang Mai? 12, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Nature (2). Nothing in Beach here yet โ€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Wat Umong, Doi Suthep-Pui and Silver Temple. ### What is there to do in Chiang Mai beyond the obvious? 2 of the 12 quests in Chiang Mai are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Chiang Mai holds two at tier 1, one at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Baan Kang Wat and Wat Umong, which fall under History and Art. ### Can you do all the Chiang Mai quests on one trip? Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 12 falls within 5.5 km of the middle of the Chiang Mai list โ€” walking and local transport, not day trips โ€” so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one. ### Which Chiang Mai quests can you do for free? 10 of the 12 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 12 can be read and travelled to without paying anything โ€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Chiang Mai means two quests: Baan Kang Wat and Wat Umong. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Chiang Mai? Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Chiang Mai is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Wat Umong fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way โ€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Chiang Mai sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/th/chiang-mai.
