Chiang Mai To Khon Kean

[Niloc]

I want to attend a wedding in Khon Kean, I have looked at all the airlines but cannot find any which fly between these two towns... ? Any help?

[ozfarang81]

u could fly thai via Bangkok Don Muang. that is the only option by air. otherwise you need to take a bus

If you fly pick the flight that leaves at 16:45, it's the quickest option. You'll have less than 1 hour at DMK. If you pick a morning flight you will have a 10 hour wait and still arrive at the same time in Khon Kaen. Info from Amadeus website.

I think there is a flight from CM to Udon Thani. That's about 100km North of KK.

Not sure if that flight is still good since the recent problems.

Bangkok to Khon Kaen recommend strongly travel with Nakonchai Air (bus company) great service VIP every hour and 1st class which is super duper plenty of room about 100 baht more expensive twice daily.

I will be making exactly the reverse journey for exactly the same reason!

For me the easiest way is to type the destination into the GPS and set off.

I am bumping this thread to ask for updated info on flights from Chiang Mai to Khon Kaen. Is there any direct flight available now or one has to fly via BKK?

Nok Air

Nok Air

I should have mentioned that I checked Nok Air and there is no flight as far as I could see.

Nok Air canceled their flights about 2 weeks ago between Chiang Mai and Udon. No flights between KK and Cm so you can fly CM to BK and then BK to KK or Udon. You can take a train CM to BK then BK to K or Udon. Or there is the bus from CM to KK and Udon, 9 to 11 hours, and finally about 9 hours if you drive. This is what I do.

They must have cancelled their flights to Khon Kaen as well. Still in the drop down menu though.

That's true about the drop down menu. Go to their Flight Schedule and put in CM to KK or Udon a big fat nothing comes up.
