Station, train
Travelling by train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, or in reverse, is a popular budget means of getting between the cities. Slightly more expensive than the bus, and taking longer, the train is a much more comfortable means of travel, especially if you take an overnight sleeper. Recently, the emergence of budget flights for 1500 baht or less one-way between Chiang Mai and Bangkok has taken the edge off train travel, but many prefer to see the country from the ground.Invariably the train arrives in its own 'Thai time', which is usually up to an hour late. Food and drinks are freely available on board, served to your own seat, at a reasonable price (a meal and drink is less than 100 baht). However, there's no harm in picking up snacks beforehand on the station concourse.
