I'm contemplating moving from Manila to Chieng Mai perhaps sometime in May. Can anybody recommend the best and cheapest connection and/or airline?

Tonight I saw a RT airfare, RT with a long layover in Bangkok, for around $750. Is that a good fare nowadays?

Also, it's my understanding that even though I personally plan on staying in Thailand for a while, I still need to have on ongoing ticket...isn't that correct?

Regards,

hi Art, try tiger airways from manila to bangkok, that's about 250 to 300 USD

then you'll need a domestic flight to chiang mai, which again should be under 100USD.

hope this helps for starters.

Thanks Bro'. I was thinking I'd heard there was direct flights but...

I also thought that there was an option of some flights leaving from that other airport around here....up at Clark, I think?

In your suggestion, were you talking about a one way fare, or RT? The information I got when I did my search was, as I said before, around $750 RT but that was with the long layover in BNK.
