Chiang Mai → Chiang Rai: key facts

Private transfer, Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) to Chiang Rai: the car (1–3 passengers) is €110 and the van (4–8) is €160, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 191 km on the road via 118 and 1; about 3h 5min off-peak, 3h 5min – 3h 50min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the arrival hall of the terminal your flight lands at, international or domestic, at the exit after baggage claim (and, on international flights, after immigration and customs), holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Chiang Rai is the capital of Thailand's northernmost province, known for its modern temples and as a base for the Golden Triangle. From the airport the route crosses Chiang Mai to the north-east and follows Route 118 through Doi Saket and the mountains around Wiang Pa Pao, then joins Highway 1 for the last stretch into the city. The distance is about 190 km and the trip usually takes three to three and a half hours.

The city centre is built around the golden clock tower, with the night bazaar and most hotels within walking distance. Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple, stands next to Highway 1 about 13 km south of the centre, so many travellers stop there on the way into town. The Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) is on the northern side of the city, and Baan Dam, the Black House museum, lies about 12 km north. Mae Sai at the Myanmar border and Chiang Saen in the Golden Triangle are about an hour further north.
