Departure: Chiang Rai International Airport (Mae Fah Luang) (CEI)

Flights from Chiang Rai to Bangkok leave from Chiang Rai International Airport (Mae Fah Luang) (CEI), serving Chiang Rai - chiang Rai is the far north of Thailand, with the White Temple, the Blue Temple and the Golden Triangle on the Mekong. 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 is small, with a taxi counter and ride-hailing apps into the centre in about 20 minutes, and coaches and songthaews connect the bus station to the old town; there is no train, so a private car is by far the simplest way to the White Temple, the Golden Triangle, Mae Sai and the mountain villages, and for the long road to Chiang Mai.

• 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 can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Chiang Rai to Chiang Rai International Airport (Mae Fah Luang)

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

The flight lands at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK). 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. 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 Chiang Rai to Bangkok journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

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

Before you compare the Chiang Rai to Bangkok 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.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• 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

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

Families fly the Chiang Rai to Bangkok route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Bangkok when you land

the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun at sunset, Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha, Chatuchak weekend market and a long-tail boat on the khlongs are what most travellers come to Bangkok for. 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. Eat khao man gai (chicken rice), pad thai from a street cart and boat noodles at Victory Monument while you are there.

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 Rai 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 Rai 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 Rai

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Bangkok to Chiang Rai 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 Chiang Rai to Bangkok?

Flight prices from Chiang Rai to Bangkok follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you through WhatsApp before you decide.

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 Chiang Rai to Bangkok flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

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

A cheap Chiang Rai to Bangkok flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often 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
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Chiang Rai to Bangkok that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
