Chiang Mai by Airplane

The easiest way to get to Chiang Mai is by flying from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. The flight takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Bangkok has two airports:

• Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK): The main airport in Bangkok, handling the majority of international flights.
• Don Mueang International Airport (DMK): Primarily used for domestic and low-cost flights.

Both airports offer flights to Chiang Mai, with around 25 flights per day departing from each (approx. every hour). Low-cost airlines such as Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, and Bangkok Airways provide frequent services.

Important Information Before Booking Your Ticket:

• If you have a layover in Bangkok, we recommend allowing at least 2 hours for your connection. The immigration process can be time-consuming.
• Double-check from which airport your connecting flight departs. Transfers between Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports can take time and require planning.

We suggest comparing prices between booking your flights as a single itinerary and booking your tickets separately. In some cases, it can be more cost-effective to purchase a separate ticket for the Bangkok-Chiang Mai flight, as many low-cost airlines offer fares starting at €25 or $26.

If you’re traveling from Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Myanmar, the Philippines, or the UAE, you can also find direct flights to Chiang Mai.
