Hi all,

I'm pretty sure I read on the forum that you can fly from Bangkok to Chaing Mai, firstly is this correct. Also can you fly from Chaing Mai to Phuket and/or Ko Samui. If so, what are the best airlines to use and do I just ring them or go to thier office in Thailand when I am there. I'm talking about January approx 11th - 15th. Also, what is the approx cost of these flights.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Enpi,
Just looked on internet for u of flight costs --
U can fly from Bangkok to Chaing Mai direct - i'am probably doing it myself in early march - i looked at AirAsia & it is about $38.00 o/w.total .
I think from Chaing Mai to Phuket u will have to go via Bangkok - price from Bangkok to Phuket is about same $38.00 o/w. (airasia)
Chaing Mai - Koh Samui - $245.00 o/w. (Bangkok Air) in January. (possibly direct- or via Bangkok ?)
Bangkok - Samui - from $90.00 - $140.00 o/w (Bangkok Air) depending on time of day
I pretty sure Bangkok Air is the only airline thats flys to Koh Samui.

i normally book my Thai internal flights on the internet - no probs. at all, if i know dates i want to travel i book them from home, or just book them when in thailand when i know dates, but i think the earlier u book the cheaper it is.
or if u uncomfortable with internet booking , there are many thai travel agents that can do it for u prices prety much the same ,maybe just a little commision ? - they are all over Thailand.

Thai Air is probably the best - along with Bangkok Air - but more expensive than the budget airlines - Air Asia, Nok Air, One 2 Go - i have used Air Asia - & other budget airlines many times before - no probs. really - just twice flights were delayed - i think Thai Airways get priority from what i've been told b4 ?
(all prices above are in Australian Dollars & total cost - taxes included)

hope this is some helps- if u need any other info - just ask
Cheers Gary

Koh samui will always be bangkok airways as they have the monopoly

You can fly direct from Chiang Mai to Phuket via Thai airways. You have to book this asap as this flight sells out quickly.
