The only way to go from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is by plane.

Chiang Mai is the second most famous place in Thailand, located in the northern part of the country.
It is said to be a sacred place for backpackers and freelancers, and has a good environment for food, clothing, and shelter.

I have also visited Chiang Mai several times.

There are many tourist spots, and there are also quite a lot of cafes and markets.
We will introduce how to get to Chiang Mai!

In conclusion, AirAsia is the cheapest.

3 ways to go to Chiang Mai

• Car (Lotto)
• bus
• plane

These three.
In terms of cost and physical strength, I would definitely recommend flying.
Prices start from 3,000 yen, and it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to arrive at Chiang Mai Airport from Bangkok.

If you want to see other places leisurely, you may want to take a car.
It will arrive in about 10 hours (*´ω｀)

Domestic flight locations at Don Mueang Airport

・From the international terminal, move from the second floor and move to the building next door.
・Once you exit the international terminal, walk along the road for about 1 minute past the taxi stand.

If it says Domestic Terminal 

I don't have any photos, so I'll take some next time I go!

Don Mueang's domestic terminal is newer and cleaner than the international terminal.
It looks like it was recently renovated. International flights are kind of boring.

There are two airlines flying to Chiang Mai.

・Air Asia
Lion Air

AirAsia has a Japanese website, but Lion Air does not.
English and Indonesian only.

Lion Air is free for up to 15km, so depending on your luggage, Lion Air may be cheaper.
In terms of service, it only takes about an hour to get to Chiang Mai, so the quality is not much different.

How much does a ticket cost from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?

1795 yen?
? ? ? ('_')! ? ? Yay! The average price is about 3500 yen.

Lion Air has a similar price.

AirAsia's website is much easier to navigate.
AirAsia's app is also much easier to use.

AirAsia looks good after all (*´ω｀)

Transportation from Chiang Mai Airport

・Taxi or stray songthaew

There are two types of movement.
It takes about 10 minutes to get to Chiang Mai city, so it's cheap to get there by taxi or stray songthaew.
Something like 200 baht. A stray songthaew costs 20 baht.

The way you ride a songthaew in Chiang Mai is slightly different from that in Pattaya.

You have to tell them where you are going and negotiate whether you can go.
There are many drivers who don't understand English, so it's a bit troublesome.

What's more, if you tell me where you don't want to go, he will refuse.

I don’t want taxis or stray songthaews!
If so, it would be best to use Uber or Grab. Uber's prices have been going up recently, so I think Grab is a good option.

If you want to go right away, just tell the taxi at the airport where you want to go and they will take you there.

It seems like you don't need a tip. (When I asked for a tip, I was refused.)

Places you must visit when visiting Chiang Mai

・Doi Suthep
Warorot Market

When I come to Chiang Mai, I'll probably try these two.

Doi Suthep is a temple on the mountain.
Warorot Market is the largest market in Chiang Mai. The Hmong market is famous.

Doi Suthep

 

This is an article about when I went to Mon Market.
After eating so much sushi and visiting the Hmong market in Chiang Mai, I went to Sushi Jiro.

Chiang Mai is the capital city to live in

In Chiang Mai, many people are able to retire early.
There are also a lot of freelancers. The reason is the low prices and good environment.

I like that it's not too hot like Bangkok.
The internet and shopping are plentiful, and it's only an hour's flight to Bangkok, so it's not far away.
