Your driver waits in the arrivals hall at Chiang Mai Airport with a name sign and takes you to the door of your hotel or guesthouse in the Old City. The same fixed price works for the ride back to the airport.
Travel time
It is about 5 km, usually 30 min. The airport is only 4 km from the moat, one of the shortest airport transfers in Thailand. During Songkran and Yi Peng some gates and moat roads close, so we drop you as close to your hotel as police allow.

To confirm the booking we ask a 50% deposit by Wise, Thai bank transfer, PromptPay QR or USDT; the balance is paid to the driver on the day. Cancel 7 days or more before the trip and 30% of the deposit is refunded; later cancellations are not refunded. Payment details are sent by email only. If your flight is late we track it and wait at no extra charge.
Which car to choose
A taxi sedan suits two people with luggage, an SUV or MPV fits a family of four, and a minivan from 600 THB carries larger groups and plenty of bags.
