Flying from Hanoi to Chiang Mai
In short
Thai AirAsia flies nonstop from Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi to Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) in northern Thailand. The 765 km flight takes about 1 hour 25 minutes. It is the direct link between northern Vietnam and northern Thailand, used by travellers moving between the two on a regional trip and by Vietnamese visitors on holiday.
Thai AirAsia is the only airline on the route. As a low-cost airline it includes a cabin bag in the basic fare and nothing more. Buy checked baggage and meals online at booking, where they are cheaper.
Noi Bai to the Old Quarter and rush-hour timing
Noi Bai is about 30 km north of the Old Quarter, and international flights use Terminal 2. Taxis, Grab and the airport express bus take 45 minutes to an hour, longer at rush hour. For an international flight aim to arrive about three hours before departure, as check-in closes well ahead and queues at immigration can be long.
Arrival card and the new visa-free stay
Entry rules for Thailand depend on your passport. Every foreign visitor completes the Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing; our Thailand visa page explains the process. From 15 September 2026, the visa-free stay for tourists from 60 countries and territories is 30 days; the earlier 60-day exemption no longer applies.
Chiang Mai's airport sits just south-west of the old city walls. AOT lists shuttle vans from Gate 12 of the international terminal at flat fares: 40 baht on route A1 to Nimmanhaemin, Huay Kaew and the moat, 40 baht on route A2 to Mahidol Road, the Night Bazaar and Chang Khlan Road, and 60 baht on route A3 to Ring Road 2. The Chiang Mai City Bus yellow and red lines run from 06:00 to 23:30. Taxis and Grab reach most hotels in 15 to 20 minutes, and car rental desks are on the first floor. Many hotels offer free pickup, so check before you book a car.
Chiang Mai's busiest months and its hot spell
The cool season, November to February, brings warm days and evenings as cool as about 10°C, and it is the busiest time in the city. From April temperatures climb to about 40°C, and the rains run roughly from June to October.
Same UTC+7 clock and flights to Bangkok
Hanoi and Chiang Mai share the same clock, UTC+7, all year. From Chiang Mai, domestic flights run frequently to Bangkok for connections across Asia, for example to South Asia from Suvarnabhumi (see Bangkok to Dhaka flights).
