Several ordinary and air-conditioned buses leaving
daily from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (also known
as Mo Chit) on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road. Most air-con buses
leave between 20.00 and 22.00 hrs. and it takes about
10-11 hours to reach Chiang Mai. There are also private
buses which can be conveniently booked in other tourist-oriented
places in Bangkok. But the public buses from the Northern
Bus Terminal are generally more reliable.

Express and rapid trains leave for Chiang Mai from
Hualamphong Station several times daily and the trip
takes about 11-12 hours for express trains. It is highly
recommended to reserve seats well in advance, especially
for sleepers. During long holidays like Songkran and
New Year, it is not uncommon to find that all the sleepers
of all trains are already filled up two months beforehand.
