Bangkok - Chiang Mai

[phuketpaddy]

Hello,

I'll be arriving in Bangkok around lunchtime in a couple of weeks, whats the chances of getting on a flight that same day to Chiang Mai. I know from looking on nokair,thai airways etc that there seems to be plenty of flights available but do you usually need to book them in advance. I dont want to do this in case my flight is delayed.

Also can i just show up at the airport and book a ticket from there or do i have to go to a travel agents?? And when i arrive at Bangkok International Airport is the domestic airport far from there or are they in the same place??? How much would a taxi bus cost to get between the two??

Cheers

No problems. You can buy the ticket from Nokair in the domestic terminal.

I have done the same several times.

Its about 5 min walk, inside, to the domestic terminal, or if You want You can take a free buss.

There are two other low-price companys to Chiang Mai, Air Asia and OneTwo Go

Good luck

There is at least one flight every hour till 5 PM. I usually fly Air Thai. Funny but I have never changed planes from an international flight there but I think the terminals are right next to one another. The planes were not that full when I left BKK a month ago for CM but don't know about now. Air Thai should be able to give you all the information over the phone.

I just bought a flight from BKK - Chiang Mai for 1399 baht through http://www.fly12go.com/en/main.shtml. Haven't flown them yet so I can't give a review but that's the cheapest I found online. They're having a sale.

Thanks Lads, Thats actually cheaper than i expected. Im not sure what airline i checked before but they were charging in the region of 2500 baht one way, so 1349 baht from one2go seems a good price. Ill look out for their stall when i get to the airport. Thanks for the help guys

Flying from the UK is a killer.

But CM in the same day is really exhausting I tend to sleep most of the way from the UK so another hour or so is not that bad and at least it keeps you away from Bangkok.

(If I was sat next to someone like the girls in your pic I`m sure I wouldn`t get to sleep)
