Chiang Mai to Yangon flight guide
Flying from Chiang Mai to Yangon
In short
Myanmar Airways International (MAI) flies nonstop from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) in northern Thailand to Yangon International Airport (RGN), Myanmar's main gateway. The 364 km flight takes about 55 minutes and links a large Myanmar community in northern Thailand with the country's commercial capital.
Myanmar Airways International is the only airline listed on the route. It is a full-service airline, so economy fares normally include a checked bag; check your ticket for the exact allowance. Special meals, Muslim meals included, should be requested at least 24 hours ahead.
MAI's 2024 launch with flight 8M371
MAI launched Yangon to Chiang Mai on 3 April 2024 with three flights a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, using a 95-seat Embraer E190 jet. At launch, flight 8M371 left Chiang Mai at 14:45 and landed in Yangon at 15:15 local time, and the introductory one-way fare was USD 119. Myanmar National Airlines also flew the route at the time, four times a week on a 70-seat ATR 72. Schedules have changed since, so use the search to see who is flying on your date.
Shuttle van fares of 40 and 60 baht to the airport
The airport is just south-west of the old city. AOT runs flat-fare shuttle vans that use Gate 12 of the international terminal: 40 baht on route A1 (Nimmanhaemin, Huay Kaew, the moat), 40 baht on route A2 (Mahidol Road, Night Bazaar, Chang Khlan Road) and 60 baht on route A3 (Ring Road 2). The yellow and red city bus lines run from 06:00 to 23:30, and a taxi or Grab from the centre takes 15 to 20 minutes. AOT asks passengers to arrive at least two hours before departure.
Mingaladon airport and Myanmar safety advice
Yangon International Airport is in Mingaladon, about 15 km north of downtown. Taxis wait outside arrivals, and the drive takes 45 minutes or more in traffic. Myanmar's situation has been unsettled since 2021, with conflict in some regions; read your government's travel advice and check entry rules with the Myanmar embassy that covers your country before you book.
Dry season travel and Myanmar's half-hour offset
November to February is the cool, dry season in both cities and the most comfortable time to travel. April is very hot, and the rains run roughly from June to October.
Clocks go back 30 minutes on arrival (Myanmar is UTC+6:30, Thailand UTC+7). Travellers from further afield usually reach Chiang Mai through Bangkok; see our Dhaka to Bangkok flights page for one example of a connection.
