No flights chiang mai to chiang rai????

I swear I read that there were flighs on Nok air between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, but when I booked my hotel, they asured me that there were no flights and we would have to drive the four hours.



Has anyone rented a car in Chaing Mai for the drive? Has anyone flown and if so, how???



thank you

NokAir have an arrangement with SGA airlines which fly from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai.

it is expensive compared to bus and/or minivan.

SGA flights are on a 12 seater single propeller plane. Great to enjoy the view.



But for 250 baht you can take a comfy VIP bus and you%26#39;ll be in Chiang Rai in a little over 3 hours.



Driving yourself is tiring, there is a lot of mountain road and a lot of overtaking to do (trucks, buses) in sometimes tricky conditions. You need to be a confident driver. And apart from stops at food stalls along the road, not muchto do. The interesting things are North of Chiang Rai.
