Getting to Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is the second largest city of Thailand and is located in the north about 435 miles north of the capital Bangkok. If you are in Thailand and plans to visit Chiang Mai, you have several options there on your budget and time constraints for each order.

By plane

The international airport has daily flights from Chiang Mai and Bangkok, as well as many other Asian cities. Obviously this will be the fastest way to You learn to May of Chiang and there is no reason not to fly because the flight tickets in Thailand are very cheap. Most of the time you can get a one way trip to Bangkok or to less than 1,500 baht or $ 50. Fly from Chiang Mai to the islands of southern Thailand does not return more than $ 100 so why not save hours of time and fly?

By train

Arriving by train is very popular in Thailand and train carsBangkok several times a day traveling to Chiang Mai. It 'can get different types of trains, including sleeper trains, express trains and standard features. Anyone wishing to travel by night train (the best option in my opinion) can sell their tickets in advance as the trains, especially during one of many Thai festivals. Depending on the type of train, take the last trip anywhere 11-15 hours. Compare that to the flight 45 minutes, when aAircraft.

By bus

Buses are also a very popular travel option in Thailand. From Bangkok you can find buses from Mo Chit bus station several times a day and the cost of air conditioning and first class buses cost about 500 baht or $ 17. The bus is much faster than the train to arrive, most coaches can make the trip in about nine hours, but also the seats of the buses are less comfortable than a night train. Remain in the area of Khao San RoadTo search for Bangkok by private bus companies leaving from Khao San Road, but caveat emptor. Many people have complained in the past that these private coaches often try to fall into a pension or a hotel of your choice when you arrive. As you can imagine, many people are too tired after the drive 9 hours and the bus driver to get a nice commission argued away.
