Chiang Mai Today: Storms, Serows & Six Global Summits

In today’s Chiang Mai Journal, we cover the city’s latest developments as Tropical Storm Danas and the strengthening northern monsoon bring rain warnings and rising river levels. Volunteers reinforce the Ping River’s edge while light rail plans and landmark repairs push forward.

We spotlight a rare serow sighting in Chiang Dao, signal of a thriving ecosystem, and celebrate Chiang Mai’s rising international status as it secures six major global conferences for 2025. Plus, we touch on flight route changes from MAI and restoration efforts at the Chang Phueak White Elephant Monument.

Stay dry, stay curious—this is your July 6th briefing from the heart of Chiang Mai.
