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

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Chiang Rai when you land

Chiang Rai is the far north of Thailand, with the White Temple, the Blue Temple and the Golden Triangle on the Mekong. The reasons passengers fly from Bangkok to Chiang Rai include The Golden Clock Tower, Wat Phra Kaew, The Golden Triangle, Doi Tung Royal Villa and gardens and Singha Park. For the first meal, try nam prik ong chilli dip, grilled river fish and Chiang Rai coffee.

If you want the days in Chiang Rai organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Bangkok to Chiang Rai

November to February is the cool, dry season and the most pleasant, with misty mornings in the hills; March to April can be hot and hazy with field-burning smoke, and May to October is the green rainy season with afternoon showers; the temples are busiest around midday and at weekends. On the flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Chiang Rai to Bangkok

We book the return leg from Chiang Rai to Bangkok just as easily, normally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai?

The cost of a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

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

Finding cheap flights from Bangkok to Chiang Rai is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• 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
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

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 Rai flight first, then the alternatives.

How to book flights from Bangkok to Chiang Rai with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know in the WhatsApp chat when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Chiang Rai

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Bangkok to Chiang Rai flight with a transfer from your accommodation to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK) and a driver waiting at Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI).

Airlines flying from Bangkok to Chiang Rai

Thai Airways, Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air and Nok Air fly the Bangkok to Chiang Rai route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Thai Airways - Bangkok to Chiang Rai
• Thai AirAsia - Bangkok to Chiang Rai
• Thai Lion Air - Bangkok to Chiang Rai
• Nok Air - Bangkok to Chiang Rai

Departure: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK)

Flights from Bangkok to Chiang Rai leave from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK), serving Bangkok - bangkok is the capital of Thailand on the Chao Phraya river, served by Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) about 30 km east of the centre and Don Mueang (DMK) about 25 km north, with the Grand Palace and old city on the river, the shopping districts of Siam and Sukhumvit inland and the Riverside hotels along the water. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi reaches Phaya Thai in half an hour, and Don Mueang has a train and buses; both end with a taxi or a hot walk to the hotel with luggage, which is why families and late arrivals book a car to the door.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Bangkok to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang
• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang

Arrival: Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI) and getting into Chiang Rai

The flight lands at Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI). Chiang Rai is the far north of Thailand, with the White Temple, the Blue Temple and the Golden Triangle on the Mekong. 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 Rai journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Onward flights or trains from Chiang Rai the same day can be added to the booking; tell us and we choose a Bangkok to Chiang Rai departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Bangkok to Chiang Rai flight

Before you compare the Bangkok to Chiang Rai flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours provides the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
