        "question": "How do I get to Chiang Mai Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Chiang Mai International Airport is roughly 4 km southwest of the old city, and the most common ways to reach it from downtown are by taxi, ride-hailing services like Grab, or songthaew (shared red trucks) that run fixed routes toward the airport area. Taxis and Grab are the fastest and most convenient, taking about 10–15 minutes depending on traffic, while songthaews are cheaper but slower and may require a short walk or transfer. There is no airport rail link yet, and driving yourself is possible with short-term parking available at the terminal, though parking is limited during peak hours.",
