Songthaew
The most common way to get around Chiang Mai is by Songthaew. These are covered pick-up trucks with two benches in the back, the name means "two benches" in Thai. To board, one just put your arm out and look at the driver, who will stop. Turning down the street you want, start looking for where you want to get off and press the switch located on the roof of the cab.The driver will pull over, let you out, and then you pay him. The fare should be 15 baht for regular trips around town. Negotiate any price beforehand if you want to go to a specific address. The best way to avoid this "charter" situation is to discuss your destination and not the price; asking for a price is interpreted as asking for a charter.
