What it is

TomTom's 2025 index for Chiang Mai: average congestion 48.7 percent, 2.3 points below 2024; 24 minutes 12 seconds per 10 km; 6.2 km driven in fifteen minutes; morning rush 24:41 and 55.8 percent, evening 29:42 and 82.4 percent at 20.2 km/h; 89 hours lost in the rush hours over the year; the worst day Monday 3 November 2025 at 138 percent at five o'clock; no highways in the sample. Bangkok: 67.9 percent, 22:59 per 10 km, 115 hours lost, evening 126.5 percent. Numbeo's crowd index, 32 contributors: Chiang Mai 115.9 against Bangkok 202.2, an average one-way commute of 13.9 km.

The long version

Inference — the May trough in the monthly series, 37 percent, is the university out and the smoke season over; the November peak is the high season back. Chiang Mai's congestion is seasonal in a way Bangkok's is not, and the road plans do not say which month they are built for.
