Private Airport Transfers in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) is just 4 km from the Old City moat and 3 km from Nimman Road — one of the shortest airport-to-city drives in Southeast Asia. Despite this, unmetered tuk-tuks and informal taxi arrangements outside the terminal are common, and prices vary widely. A pre-booked private transfer costs from ฿800 and guarantees a professional driver, a clean vehicle, and a fixed price set before you land.

Transfers start from ฿800 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.
