Depends on time, money & your sense of adventure...

I have driven & would happily do so again. I am not so sure that I would want anyone else to drive me - unless I knew their driving skills very well.

I have taken the bus. Had good, bad & indifferent experiences but, in all honesty, i would be reluctant to do it again. It is a long & not very comfortable journey that can get 'hairy'.

I have flown &, in my opinion it is the best method unless you want your own vehicle at the other end.

Money wise I would suspect that there is not a whole lot of difference between a taxi & the plane, unless there are a group of you travelling.
Unless you want to drop in & explore places en-route then i don't think it is much of a competition..

bob .. so there is a flight between chiang mai and udonthani .. if yes .. then that is what I will do ..

Definite flying is the way to go.Plenty of people say that the bus isn't the way to go.
