Checking in for your flight at Bangkok Airports

There are two main airports in Bangkok serving flights to Chiang Mai: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK).

Suvarnabhumi is the primary international airport in Bangkok, handling both domestic and international flights. For international travellers connecting to Chiang Mai, this is the main hub. Don Mueang is a popular choice for budget airlines like AirAsia and Nok Air. It mainly serves domestic flights, and it's known for being more compact and faster to navigate than Suvarnabhumi.

Flights from BKK typically depart from the main terminal, while flights from DMK usually depart from Terminal 2. To ensure a smooth check-in and security process, it’s best to arrive 2 to 3 hours prior to your flight. Remember, check-in counters close 45 to 60 minutes before departure, so be sure to arrive early.

You can get to Bangkok Airports by:

  • Taxis: Taxis are the quickest option. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes from the city centre to either airport.
  • Buses: Several bus routes run between the city and both airports. Travel time typically ranges from 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Airport Rail Link (BKK only): For Suvarnabhumi, the Airport Rail Link is a fast and affordable option, taking around 30 minutes to reach the city centre.

Arrival at Chiang Mai International Airport

Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) is a smaller yet efficient airport that serves both domestic and international flights. It offers a variety of transportation options to get you from the airport to the city centre, ensuring a smooth arrival:

  • Taxis: Taxis are available 24/7 at the taxi rank just outside the arrival hall. A ride to the city centre takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Airport Shuttle: The airport offers a shuttle service to major hotels in the city, with a fixed rate for convenience. It’s a great choice if you’re headed to specific accommodations.
  • Buses: Public buses connect the airport to various parts of Chiang Mai, taking about 30 minutes to reach the city centre. It’s a budget-friendly option.
  • Private Transfers: For a more comfortable and direct ride, private car services are available at the airport. This option is ideal for those travelling with more luggage or seeking a bit more luxury.
