Chiang Mai province is expected to attract more than 2 million tourists during high season, which starts next week and ends in February, the director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand's Chiang Mai office said.

“During a three-day Yi Peng Festival alone, between November 24 and 26, we expect tourists to contribute more than Bt750 million to the economy,” he said.
