Chiang Mai by Airplane

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.

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

• Europe: Most flights from Europe to Chiang Mai require at least one layover, typically in Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Some flights might also connect via the Middle East (Doha, Dubai) before reaching these Asian hubs.
• North America: Flights from the United States and Canada to Chiang Mai involve layovers in East Asian hubs like Tokyo (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), or Taipei (Taiwan), in addition to Bangkok or Singapore.
• South America: Flights from South America often have two layovers—one in a North American or European city and another in an Asian hub like Bangkok or Singapore.
• Oceania: Flights from Australia or New Zealand to Chiang Mai typically connect through Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong or Taipei.

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.
