Constitution Day: a short trip from Chiang Mai
The Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization's December 2026 calendar labels Thursday 10 December a government holiday. A four-day window, 10–13 December, needs approved leave on Friday 11 December plus Saturday and Sunday off; the tool compares three- or five-day trips, so the example uses three days inside that window. It is not a universal holiday, school calendar or private-employer leave, and no substitute day is assumed.

What to weigh
- Three days is short. The tool compares cost only; it does not check whether a destination is near, direct or a short flight. Check the travel time yourself before using a short break.
- The three-day example sits inside the 10–13 December window; adjust the days in the tool if your leave differs.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency, not a typical or recommended amount, and not a guaranteed fit.
Questions
- Is Friday 11 December a holiday?
- No. The four-day window needs your own approved leave that day.
- Are the destinations shown close enough for a short trip?
- Not necessarily. They are ranked on modelled cost only; travel time is not verified. Check the flight time yourself.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
