Yes, a couple of times. I've taken different routes each time depends if you are looking for speed or a holiday experiance, also if you are visiting places on the way? With an early start you can do it in a long day, nicer if you an plan a stop over at about 3/4 of the way up. This would allow breakfast and arrival in CR for midday.

Probably a selection of PTT stations along Highway 1. No direct experiance of needing NGV.

Done the trip a few times from Chiangmai, but Chiangrai is a borderline overnight stop, depending on your stamina. Chiangmai/Chiangrai is about two and a half hours, and a reasonable highway. Keep on the main highway from Bangkok and you will find a lot of the larger PTT stations have gas.
