Just go to Morchit northen bus station and book Bangkok-Chiang Rai-Mae Sai. Need not book in advance during off season, bus depart hourly every evening to Mae Sai.

Why, pray tell, do you want to take a bus?

[my friend I]

It takes about 14 hours.

If no bus to Mae Sai, get a Chiang Rai bus. There is a bus every 15 minutes from CR to Mae Sai.

I definitely would look at flying AirAsia to Chiang Rai (around 1500 THB) then a bus or song thaeow or whatever to Mae Sai. You're looking at a 14 hr bus ride, probably 600 THB anyway, 900 VIP. , but just a debilitating bus ride, IMO. I'm a relatively durable traveler, but those long bus rides really take it out of me.

RT to Chiang Rai on Air Asia is about 3,300 including tax.
