From the Airport to the City
Chiang Mai has a small airport located very close to the city. Depending on the traffic, you can be at a hotel in the city center in about 20 minutes. After you arrive, head to one of the exits, where a woman will approach you offering a taxi ticket. The fixed taxi price is 150 THB: with your ticket, you walk outside to find a driver waiting to take you to your hotel, and then you pay the 150 THB. Pretty straightforward.
These days, there’s also a Grab booth at the airport, or you can try booking a Bolt ride — which is usually a few tens of baht cheaper. And if you’re really on a budget, there’s a regular bus from the airport to the city: the airport shuttle makes a loop and costs 40 THB.
