Find a Travel Companion
in Chiang Mai
An ancient walled city where golden temples rise above leafy lanes, street food sizzles at every gate, and mountain culture infuses everything.
Travel better in Chiang Mai with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Chiang Mai spends about ~$20โ40 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Chiang Mai.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Chiang Mai (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
The Wai Greeting
Thais greet with a wai, pressing palms together at chest height with a slight bow. Return a wai when greeted. The higher the hands, the more respect shown. You do not need to wai service staff, but always return one from elders or monks.
Temple Etiquette
Remove shoes before entering any temple building. Cover shoulders and knees. Most temples will lend wraps but bring your own. Never climb on Buddha statues, point feet at sacred images, or sit higher than a monk. Women must not touch monks or hand them objects directly.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Chiang Mai travel guide.
