Flight from Pattaya to Chiang Mai

Flight from Pattaya to Chiang Mai at a glance

Here is what the Pattaya to Chiang Mai flight looks like: with a connection in Bangkok by road (about 2 hours), then a flight from Suvarnabhumi, about 1 hour 20 minutes gate to gate, on Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, Thai Airways and Nok Air, many a day. Departure from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya) (BKK), arrival at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). Haqqi Tours compares every airline and fare on your dates and sends you the cheapest and the most convenient, side by side.

How much is a flight from Pattaya to Chiang Mai?

The cost of a flight from Pattaya to Chiang Mai 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 check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

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 Pattaya to Chiang Mai flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

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

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

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• 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
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

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

How to book flights from Pattaya to Chiang Mai with Haqqi Tours

Booking a flight from Pattaya to Chiang Mai with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill out the form on this page with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are flying and the class you prefer. Our staff then messages you in the WhatsApp chat to check your booking: we finalise the flights available that day, the airline, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat.

• Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you through 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 Mai

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 Pattaya to Chiang Mai flight with a transfer from your hotel to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya) (BKK) and a driver waiting at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX).

Airlines flying from Pattaya to Chiang Mai

Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, Thai Airways and Nok Air fly the Pattaya to Chiang Mai route, with a connection in Bangkok by road (about 2 hours), then a flight from Suvarnabhumi. 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 AirAsia - Pattaya to Chiang Mai
• Thai Lion Air - Pattaya to Chiang Mai
• Thai Airways - Pattaya to Chiang Mai
• Nok Air - Pattaya to Chiang Mai

Departure: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya) (BKK)

Flights from Pattaya to Chiang Mai leave from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya) (BKK), serving Pattaya - pattaya is the beach city on the Gulf coast two hours from Bangkok, with Coral Island, the Sanctuary of Truth and family theme parks. 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: There is no train worth using from either airport: Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao have coaches and shared minivans to Pattaya bus stations that then need a baht bus or taxi to the hotel, which can take twice as long with luggage; a private car goes straight to the hotel door in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours from Bangkok, or about 45 minutes to 1 hour from U-Tapao.

• 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 Pattaya to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya)
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (2 hours by road from Pattaya)

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

Arrival is at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Chiang Mai is the temple city of the north, with the walled old town, Doi Suthep on the mountain, night markets and elephant sanctuaries. We provide airport transfers in Chiang Mai 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.

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 Pattaya to Chiang Mai flight

Before you compare the Pattaya to Chiang Mai 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 arranges 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.

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

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

Families fly the Pattaya to Chiang Mai route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline 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 carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Chiang Mai when you land

Chiang Mai is the temple city of the north, with the walled old town, Doi Suthep on the mountain, night markets and elephant sanctuaries. Start with Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra Singh and Tha Phae Gate, then Sunday Walking Street and Doi Inthanon National Park. A tip from our desk: Domestic and international arrivals share one building, so a driver can meet you at the exit with a name board; the road to Pai has 762 bends, so ask for a gentle driving pace if you are prone to car sickness, and for Old City hotels give the gate or lane name because many lanes are one-way.

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

Best time to fly from Pattaya to Chiang Mai

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. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Pattaya to Chiang Mai are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

The Chiang Mai to Pattaya flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.
