Flights from Bangkok to Chiang Mai

[jpatokal]

This feels a little offtopic, but there doesn't seem to be a better forum for this...

So I'll have a weekend to spare next week and, after 12 trips to Bangkok, was thinking about finally heading out to Chiang Mai. Flying there Friday evening is no problem, but returning on Sunday is a little harder since I need to catch a connecting flight to Singapore at 1915. Air Asia's only flight before 1915 leaves at 08:40 (arrival 09:50), which is a bit of a waste. One-Two-Go's flights are at 09:10/10:20, again too early, and 17:20/18:30, which cuts it much too close for comfort... Thai offers lots more options, but costs more too.

So...

How long do I need to connect from domestic to international at Don Muang? (No checked baggage, and I know they're separate terminals.)
When does Nok Air start flying?
Any experiences with One-Two-Go or Air Asia in Thailand?
Any recommendations for reliable travel agents to book my THAI tickets?


Khop khun khrap :)

Well, I'm new to these forums, but since no one else has tried answering this, I will. I hope it isn't too late.

How long do I need to connect from domestic to international at Don Muang? (No checked baggage, and I know they're separate terminals.)

You can walk there via an overhead walkway on level 2 or 3 (I think it's 3...). Just head to the top floor of the Domestic terminal, and head North.


Any recommendations for reliable travel agents to book my THAI tickets?

I've bought tickets at travel agents all over Thailand, and I've never had any problems. Sometimes, if you are booking on a small airline, you have to wait until the tickets get delivered - takes an hour or two, but this won't be a problem if you flying Thai. If you are flying Thai, then it might be a little cheaper (100-200 baht) if you buy them directly from the Thai airways office, but this is not always convenient, since you might pay 100 baht for a taxi just to take you there. They have E-ticket also.

I hope this wasn't too late!
