From Bangkok to Chiang Mai

How to get there, in Chiang Mai? That's pretty straightforward:

There are about 25 flights a day from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, easy to book online, and relatively cheap; at times a single ticket costs 30 euros, although you have pay often more for luggage. Note that there are 2 airports in Bangkok that are an hour's drive apart, Don Mueang (DMK), the old airport, and Suvarnabhumi (BKK), the new airport. Coming from Europe you probably arrived at Suvarnabhumi (pronounced Soevarnaboem). But there are just as many flights from both airports to Chiang Mai (CNX).

Many people book 'the night train'. In terms of budget, that saves another night in a hotel. The train takes about 12-15 hours. But too bad, you don't get to see the landscape along the way, and, beware, you can often only check in at your new destination in the afternoon. This also applies to the Night Bus of course.

That is immediately option 3: the Night Bus; it takes you to Chiang Mai in about 10 hours.
