Arrival: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK) and getting into Bangkok

Arrival is at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Bangkok with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

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

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

On board, the Chiang Mai to Bangkok flight is about 1 hour 10 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 airline; 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 Chiang Mai to Bangkok

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 Bangkok when you land

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. Start with Wat Arun at sunset, Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha and Chatuchak weekend market, then a long-tail boat on the khlongs and ICONSIAM and the Riverside. A tip from our desk: Check whether your flight lands at BKK or DMK - they are on opposite sides of the city - and let us know the hotel's soi number, since Sukhumvit alone runs for 20 km.

We offer tours and transfers in Bangkok as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Chiang Mai to Bangkok

November to February is the cool, dry season and the busiest; April is the hottest month and the rainy season runs June to October, when afternoon downpours slow the expressways. On the flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, 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 Bangkok to Chiang Mai

We book the return leg from Bangkok to Chiang Mai just as easily, typically 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 Chiang Mai to Bangkok?

"How much is the Chiang Mai to Bangkok 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 offers the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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 electronic 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 Chiang Mai to Bangkok: how to pay less

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

• 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 verify
• 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 usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Chiang Mai to Bangkok?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from Chiang Mai to Bangkok

On the flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok you can choose between Thai AirAsia, Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Thai Lion Air, Nok Air and Thai Vietjet.

We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

Departure: Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX)

Your journey starts at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The airport is so close that a ride-hailing car, a metered taxi or a red songthaew reaches the Old City in 10 to 20 minutes for very little, and for one traveller with a small bag that is entirely reasonable; a private car is better for a group, for late-night arrivals, for a pre-arranged pickup and above all for the mountains - Mae Rim, Mae Taeng, Chiang Dao, Doi Inthanon and Pai - where metro, tram or bus is slow or infrequent.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• 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 arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Chiang Mai to Chiang Mai International Airport
