Nothing special going on but it's a big long holiday in China and many people want to get away. Chiang Mai has become a major destination for Chinese tourists, partly due to the phenomenal success a couple of years ago of the Chinese film "Lost in Thailand" which was filmed here. Apparently there are sixty five extra flights into Chiang Mai from mainland China over the holiday! :-o
There was an article in yesterdays Bangkok Post about the government asking Thai's to welcome new visitors despite their rude behaviour, and citing some recent problems in Chiang Mai.
Haven't noted many mainland Chinese in gay venues though, but there are quite a few from Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia.
