How do I get from Xishuangbanna to Chiang Mai?

Only Kunming has flights to Chiang Mai from Xishuangbanna to Jinghong.

Departure - Mohan Port departure and arrival in Laos.

Boten, go through the entry procedures, from Boten to the Laos border Huisai, from Huisai to Thailand Qingkong, go through the entry procedures, and then from Qingkong to Chiang Mai, from Xishuangbanna Jinghong there is an international shuttle bus to Huisai, Huisai crossed the river to Qingkong, and when you arrive at Qingkong, you need to find a car by yourself. In fact, the journey is quite difficult, and I personally recommend that you join a tour group.

It's better, I went from Jinghong to Chiang Mai last month, the road is still complicated, if the whole city charters, it will be easier, but the cost is a bit high. Visas are also quite complicated.

It is possible to travel by boat, car, and plane. If you have a visa, you need to apply for a travel visa in China, although Thailand has a visa on arrival, but Chinese customs will generally not release it, if you do not have a visa. Take a boat at Jinghong Port, about 10 hours to Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, and transfer to Chiang Mai.

By car you have to go through Laos, to Chiang Rai, Thailand, and to Chiang Mai. This one requires a Laotian visa on arrival. The plane seems to be from China Eastern Airlines, and there is one that can fly to Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, and transfer to Chiang Mai!

However, it is still cost-effective to fly, and at present, more than 300 Asian airlines can fly to Bangkok, Thailand.

Then it is not expensive to take a car from Bangkok's backer road to Chiang Mai, about 70 yuan.

If you are going to Thailand from Yunnan.

In other words, I recommend going from Xishuangbanna, where there is the Mekong River, and there is also a road to Chiang Mai in Thailand, which is the closest place to Thailand on the Chinese mainland. However, I personally think that it is still cost-effective to make airplanes, and at present, Air Asia is engaged in more than 300 activities to fly to Bangkok, Thailand. Then it is not expensive to take a car from Bangkok's backer road to Chiang Mai, about 70 yuan.

Xishuangbanna self-driving tour to Thailand guide:

Thailand is a very large country, starting from Xishuangbanna, I don't know that you have to drive to Thailand**. If you drive to Chiang Mai, a more important tourist city in northern Thailand, it is about 705 kilometers by car. The driving time is about 9 hours (not including the need to cross 2 border crossings (Myanmar, Laos, Thailand) and the time to stop and rest).

Normally, you depart at 7 a.m. and arrive at Chiang Mai at 7-8 p.m.

It's not expensive, it's very close to Xishuangbanna.

Take a car from Mohan Port, 4 hours to Laos Huisun, and then take the ferry to Chiang Rai, not expensive, chartered 700, generally can carpool!

It's not expensive, it's not too far, there's a car to the border on that side, and then you sign up for a tour and they can take you around. If you have a passport, it's more convenient, just fly in.

AirAsia flights are cheaper.

A white passport is not OK, you have to go to Chiang Mai through Laos, although Laos is a visa-on-arrival policy for China, but the Chinese border control with a white passport is not released. The Thai white passport can be released, but at the airport (personally tested), you need to prepare more than 5,000 yuan in cash, and you can go out of customs by providing a round-trip ticket itinerary. Then you can apply for a visa on arrival after arriving at the airport in Thailand.

For the sake of insurance, it is better to apply for a visa in China.

It seems that it is not possible to walk like this at the moment, and I have heard that the border is not safe. Moreover, in addition to the passport, you also need to do a personal tourist visa to Thailand, so it is recommended to go with a group to make it more convenient.

Then you first go to Mengla in Xishuangbanna and then take a car to Laos, but in Laos you have to charge more than 1,000 baht or so for a visa on arrival, and then you take a boat in Laos to Chiang Khong in Thailand (in Chiang Rai Province), you will go to Thailand, and then you can take a bus from Chiang Kong to Chiang Rai and then take a bus from Chiang Rai or train to Bangkok, the total will not exceed 600 yuan (Xishuangbanna to Thailand is not counted as Chiang Kong to Bangkok), if you are the first time to come, I still recommend that you take a plane, it is a little troublesome to take a car, If you don't have acquaintances, it may be difficult to find a place.
