Do you have any tips for my flight to Chiang Mai?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Chiang Mai escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chiang Mai?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Chiang Mai, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.

Chiang Mai Flights

In Northern Thailand lies Chiang Mai, a laid-back city that balances out the excitement of Bangkok. The former seat of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai is still a beautiful, culturally-rich place long after its medieval peak. Several wats keep watch on the city, some that date back to the 13th century. Visit the city’s most revered temple, Wat Phra Singh, and Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, which overlooks Chiang Mai from the mountains of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park.

After finding your fair share of peace and beauty, there’s still much more to experience. While Chiang Mai looks like a sleepy, suburban town, a thriving food scene is underfoot. There are dozens of cooking classes you can take, along with fragrant markets. After all, eating your way through the city is one of the best ways to get a taste of the culture. Do it all and save by booking flights to Chiang Mai here with Expedia.com.au today.

Best Time to Travel

Peak Season:

Chiang Mai’s busiest season for plane tickets is also its coolest season. Between November and February, you can sleep without an air conditioner. Highs usually stay below 25 degrees Celsius, and mornings are crisp.

Shoulder Season:

March through April is the perfect time to visit for fresh mangos, lychees, and mangosteens. Plus, this is festival season, as May is the month of Buddha. During these months, the temperature starts to heat up.

Off Season:

From July to October, you can find cheap flights to Chang Mai, because it’s considered the low season. Temperatures are at their highest, and the wet weather makes for some rainy days. The rain only comes in spurts that last a few days with gorgeous skies in between, so plan to stay at least a week to experience some sunshine and the bright green scenery.

Chiang Mai Airport and Transfer Information

Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX)

Distance: 12.4 km northwest of city centre

Chiang Mai flights land at CNX, just minutes from Downtown Chiang Mai. Many hotels provide shuttle service to and from the airport, so contact your lodging in advance to determine if you can arrange transportation. CNX also has a services counter that handles ground transportation. Here you’ll find information about bus schedules, but you’ll also see the taxis lined up outside the terminal. Tuk-tuks, three-wheeled motorized bicycle taxis, are a popular form of transportation, so hire one of these for a true Chiang Mai experience. Alternatively, if you’ve booked a rental car at one of the rental agencies here with Expedia.com.au, head to the rental counter near the International Arrival Lounge.
