How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Chiang Mai from Bangkok? With 19 connections between 24 Car, Bus, Train and Flight operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event.

For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Nok Air: you will get to Chiang Mai in just 1h 5m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities.
