      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Chiang Mai Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Chiang Mai International Airport is about 3 km southwest of the city center, and the most popular ways to reach it are by taxi, ride-share (Grab), or tuk-tuk, which take only 10–15 minutes and cost a bit more than public options. Public red songthaews (converted pickup trucks) run along fixed routes from the old city and are very cheap, though slower; there is also a local bus service, but no airport rail link yet — a light rail line is planned but won't open until around 2032. Driving yourself is easy with short-term and long-term parking at the terminal, but during peak hours traffic can slow you down. Taxis and ride-shares are generally the fastest and most convenient choice.",
