There are buses galore from the old bus station in Chiang Rai and you also have the option of going VIP from the new station just outside the town but its not worth it for the little time you are on the bus. Both options are cheap as chips. Careful though the buses stop running at 6.00pm both ways.

Dont know about Thaton sorry

Thanks for the bus information, the recommendation, and the 6:00pm deadline...

The boat leaves Tha-ton daily, at about 12.30, arrival-time in Chiang Rai can vary with river-levels but is usually 5.00-6.00, it's mainly used by tourists but is well worth doing !
