Hello
Anyone know which destinations fly direct from and too Chiang Mai (I want to avoid BKK if possible)fora quick visa run.  I would like the 30 day extension option which requires international travel rather than the minibus route and 14 days

Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang or Vientiane Laos with Lao Airlines

Why do you want to fly? Take a bus to Mea Sai, hop over the border at Tachilek for 500 baht. Go back and your done. The bus takes about 5 hours (but it's VIP and very nice) the actual visa run will take up about 10 minutes if you want. And the costs: About 1200 baht (including nice dinner and a big beer in Myanmar)
