Bangkok to Chiang Mai by Car — Private Long-Distance Transfer

Bangkok to Chiang Mai is about 700 km — a full day on the road, 9 to 10 hours of driving. A private car makes sense for families and groups with luggage, and for travellers who want to stop on the way.

A full day on the road

Plan for 9 to 10 hours of driving, plus your stops. Short stops for the toilet, food or fuel are fine. A sightseeing stop or a detour is priced by message before the trip.

Or two days, with a night in Sukhothai

Book Bangkok to Sukhothai (about 6 hours), spend the evening at the old capital, and go on to Chiang Mai the next day (4–4.5 hours) — or the other way round. Each leg has its own fixed fare. See Sukhothai Transfers — Airports, Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya and Bangkok.

Flying is faster

For one or two people, a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is usually faster and cheaper. The car makes sense for families, groups and luggage — or fly, and let us meet you at the airport: see Airport.

Pickup and drop-off

In Bangkok we collect you at your hotel or address in the city, or at Suvarnabhumi Airport; in Chiang Mai the driver takes you to your hotel in the city — and the same the other way round.
