Arrival: Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) and getting into Chiang Mai

The flight lands at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). Chiang Mai is the temple city of the north, with the walled old town, Doi Suthep on the mountain, night markets and elephant sanctuaries. From arrivals you have taxis, public transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Bangkok to Chiang Mai journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many passengers continue from Chiang Mai to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board, the Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight is about 1 hour 15 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Bangkok to Chiang Mai

Three things to know about the flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and usually a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Chiang Mai when you land

the White Temple at Chiang Rai, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra Singh and Tha Phae Gate are what most travellers come to Chiang Mai for. Chiang Mai is the temple city of the north, with the walled old town, Doi Suthep on the mountain, night markets and elephant sanctuaries.

Best time to fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai

Flights from Bangkok to Chiang Mai run all year, 10+ a day. November to February is cool and dry and the best time to visit; March to May is hot, with smoke haze from field burning that can be heavy from February to April; the rainy season runs from June to October. Songkran in mid-April and the lantern festivals of Yi Peng and Loy Krathong in November bring the busiest and slowest roads. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Chiang Mai to Bangkok booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?

"How much is the Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for the date you travel shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight first, then the alternatives.
