Travel Advice :
We recommend, before your arrival in Thailand, guests will book a connecting flight with Bangkok Airways, from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi- to Chiang Mai International Airport. This reservation can be made simultaneously with the booking of your intercontinental flights to/from Thailand.
To save money and to avoid long stopover transfer times, it is best to ask your travel agent in advance for additional information regarding travel time schedules.
We recommend you consider staying an extra night in a hotel in Bangkok if your international flight arrives at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport late afternoon (after 15:00pm).
Subject to any flight change times, the first flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, with Bangkok Airways, departs at 08:00am and arrives in Chiang Mai at 09:20am.
