Hi, I was just wondering if there were buses going direct from Patts to Chiang Mai, and if so, roughly how long does it take? thanks in advance...

Yes, Nachonchai Air is clean and comfy. Maybe 10-12 hours?

Good deal just make sure you have no luggage or it will cost you four times that.

I get regular fares when I do the search.

Thanks

Yes I had factored that in too, though would be just the oneway to the airport of 800baht, as I'll be going back home when I arrive in BKK from Chiang Mai.
