Although the flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok is within the same country, you will have to show ID in order to pass through airport security, so make sure to have your passport with you.

Both Bangkok’s airports are within relatively easy travel distance from downtown Bangkok, and you can reach the city by train, bus, taxi or car. Driving in Thailand can be a bit crazy at the best of times, but if you’re up for the adventure, you’ll find car rentals available near both airports. Skyscanner’s car rental guide will help you navigate the options and find the best prices so you can have your ride picked out before you even take off!
Getting around the city
Bangkok has extensive public transportation networks, so it’s not difficult to get around. Trains and the underground are probably the most relaxing way to go, as they are generally refreshingly air conditioned, quick, and reliable. Public buses go to more locations around the city, but are usually much more crowded. Roads in Bangkok are a combination of cars, buses, tuk-tuks, rickshaws and scooters all trying to make their way around each other, so if you’re walking, make sure to keep your eyes peeled. It’s not uncommon for motorcyclists to give up on the road and zip along the sidewalk instead, so pay attention and take the overhead pedestrian bridges to cross the road when you can.
