Universities seated in Chiang Mai
Institutions whose own founding instrument or registered address places their seat in Chiang Mai province — not a branch of a university based elsewhere.
Regional campuses of national universities
Campuses and branches here of universities headquartered elsewhere. You enrol with the parent university; you study, and in some cases sit exams, in Chiang Mai.
Vocational-education institute
A สถาบันอุดมศึกษา constituted under the Vocational Education Act B.E. 2551. It awards bachelor's degrees through member colleges rather than through faculties of its own, so it is listed as what it is.
What this list is, and what it is not
An entry appears above only if we could read its founding, its type and its address off the institution's own published pages. That test is what the list is; it is not a claim to be a complete register of higher education in Chiang Mai province. Two private universities operate in the city that this page does not yet profile — The Far Eastern University on Mahidol Road in Tambon Haiya, and North-Chiang Mai University in Hang Dong District. Both maintain live sites, but on the day this page was refreshed neither returned a readable page to us, so rather than describe them from directory summaries we have named them here and left them unprofiled until we can read their own pages. If you are choosing between them, go to feu.ac.th and northcm.ac.th directly.
