Chiang Mai International Airport acts as the primary gateway to northern Thailand, offering direct flights to various Asian destinations, including China, Japan, and South Korea, as well as domestic flights to Bangkok. The airport is also well-connected for travelers coming from other locations. It serves as a hub for airlines like Thai Airways and AirAsia.
Chiang Mai International Airport is conveniently situated approximately 10 kilometers, or a 30-minute drive, from the conference center hosting ICPP7. Additionally, it is just 5 kilometers away, taking around 12 minutes by car, from the city center.
International flights from Europe, North and South America, and Oceania
For most Asian countries (like Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Myanmar) you can find direct flights to Chiang Mai. Some Asian countries without direct flights to Chiang Mai (like India, the Philippines, or Indonesia) will require connections via Bangkok or other regional hubs.
Visitors attending the conference are welcomed in Thailand without needing a business visa. Visitors from 64 countries and territories are automatically granted permission to enter Thailand. An additional 18 countries can apply for a "Visa on Arrival" at the Immigration Hall in all Thai airports and border checkpoints. Please access this list which summarizes countries and territories entitled to visa exemption and visa on arrival to Thailand.
You can also find all the information on this subject via the Thai e-visa official website. Through this website, you can check directly whether you need a visa or not, and if you do, whether you are eligible for an e-visa (online procedures) or must go to a Thai embassy. To avoid any doubts, we still advise reaching out to the Thai embassy in your country.
