In June this year, an agreement was signed between the Smart Mobility Alliance Network of Chiang Mai and Grab, a popular Asian rideshare company. This initiative is expected to lead to the replacement of 450 LPG tuk-tuks with special electric tuk-tuks that have zero emissions and thus will minimise the carbon footprint of Chiang Mai. Family hotel options, as well as residences the likes of Anantara Chiang Mai Serviced Suites, abound in this popular Thai destination and such projects will no doubt attract eco-conscious tourists too.
While several other projects are also being carried out by the local Smart Mobility Alliance Network, this current initiative is part of a plan to achieve a 35% reduction of private vehicles within five years. Such measures are seen as key to the city’s drive to becoming one of Thailand’s first “smart cities”.
