1 way to get from Chiang Mai to Nong Khai

Know before you go

One bus departs from a central Chiang Mai station and heads towards Nong Khai. The journey is quite lengthy, so bring some entertainment with you and warm clothes. The seats are upright, and only recline a bit. Don't get discouraged at the seat quality since the most important thing to have on a lengthy bus ride is ample amounts of leg room (which exist on this bus)!

- Luggage allowance
- Overnight accommodation replacement
- Air conditioned cabin

- Long journey
