From Udonthani to Chiang Mai

Post by manfriday » February 14, 2009, 1:45 am

Hello
My first post!!! :D

Shortly I will be staying in Udon for a few weeks and would like to travel to Chiang Mai for a few days stay.
There used to be a flight from Udon there but I cannot find the info anymore.
Has this route been suspended?

If I cannot fly I would like to go by train. Does anyone have the train timetable link. :oops:

Hope I can get some help on this issue.

Thanks
Much appreciated ;)
Peter

Welcome to the forum.

There is no direct rail link from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai.
Look on this page for timetables on the Northern Line

This came up a while back if you want to have a read... Maybe you can get a few ideas from it.

Thanks for your replies.

Wow, looks like a bus trip is a poor (dangerous) option. Without a flight from Udon to Chiang Mai or even a direct rail link, I will have to drive myself or forget about it and go somewhere else! :(

It is quite a long drive and I usually stop over for the night about half way, partly because I am not especially keen on driving on Thai roads that I am unfamiliar with at night and partly because TG has family half way.
It is not an unpleasant trip though especially if you are not in a rush & you then have a car to explore Chang Mai as well..

You should allow at least 8 hours plus stops.
