Private Jet Bangkok Chiang Mai: 1h10, Airports Open 24/7

Chiang Mai 1h10 from Don Mueang

A private jet from Bangkok to Chiang Mai links Don Mueang (DMK) with Chiang Mai International (CNX) in 1h10, with a one-way example price of €10,500 in a 7-seat Phenom 300, no time change and both airports open 24 hours. For a family or team of 8 or 9, a super midsize such as the Challenger 350 is priced from €5,500 per flight hour. What needs care is on the ground in Chiang Mai: a mandatory handling agent, no hangar for visiting aircraft and a departure time declared in advance. Our Bangkok office sorts all three for every flight to or from Chiang Mai. Ask for your Chiang Mai quote and hear back within the hour.

Departure and arrival airports

  • Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK / VTBD): open 24 hours, private MJets terminal, which also runs the hangar for visiting private aircraft according to the Thai AIP
  • Chiang Mai International (CNX / VTCC): 4 km south-west of the city, 316 m above sea level, 3,400 m of runway heading south and 3,100 m heading north, all services 24 hours

The two airfields are about 570 km apart. The runway places no limit on the aircraft suggested here, and the AIP sets no noise abatement procedure at Chiang Mai. The rest of our Thai network is on the Bangkok private jet charter page, and the city itself in our Chiang Mai private jet guide.

A domestic flight: entry formalities happen once

The Thai AIP requires a customs airport for aircraft entering or leaving Thailand. Bangkok to Chiang Mai does neither. Customs and immigration are therefore cleared once, at the first airport of entry into the country, and the TDAC digital arrival card, required for each entry into Thailand, is not repeated for this leg.

For a passenger arriving from Singapore, Dubai or Hong Kong, we arrange entry at the MJets terminal in Don Mueang, where passports are checked on site, followed by the flight north.

Arranging your Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight with IBC Aviation

The Chiang Mai section of the AIP, cycle of 3 September 2026, sets three rules for non-scheduled flights. A ground handling agent is mandatory, and every aircraft parks nose-in. Finally, an aircraft ready to taxi out must bring its own tow bar, unless it is smaller than code letter C: it may then manoeuvre on its own after informing the airport, which is the case for the Phenom 300.

There is no hangar for visiting aircraft. For a stay of several nights, we compare parking on site with an empty return to Bangkok and give you the cost of each option.

Share your dates and the number of travellers: our Bangkok office books the handler and the departure time in Chiang Mai, and the simplest arrangement for the aircraft while you are there.

Leaving Chiang Mai: the declared time matters

Every flight at Chiang Mai takes part in the airport's collaborative decision-making system. The time the aircraft will leave its stand is declared in advance, the start-up time is issued 40 minutes before, and the crew must call air traffic control within a five-minute window around it. The declared time can be changed no more than five times.

For you, the rule is simple: tell us about a delay as soon as you know. We have the declared time corrected once, at the right moment, rather than lose the departure sequence.

Outbound, nothing of the kind slows Don Mueang: an 08:00 departure lands at around 09:10, and the return can leave late in the evening since both airfields stay open.

Which private jet for Bangkok to Chiang Mai

  • Phenom 300, 7 seats: lavatory on board, 4h30 endurance that covers the round trip, the aircraft behind our example price
  • Challenger 350, 9 seats: super midsize with a 1.85 m cabin, for a family or a full team, from €5,500 per flight hour

Over 1h10, the number of seats matters more than cabin comfort: beyond seven travellers, the Challenger 350 avoids splitting the group across two aircraft.

Bangkok to Chiang Mai private jet price: €10,500 in a Phenom 300, as an example

For example, a one-way Bangkok to Chiang Mai flight costs €10,500 in a 7-seat Phenom 300, for 1h10 of flying, in either direction. The final amount depends on the date, the aircraft available that day and taxes. Our private jet rental rates give the hourly price of the other categories.

Yi Peng, the lantern festival held at the November full moon, is expected in late November 2026 (official dates to be confirmed in the autumn). Book the flight when you book the hotel. An aircraft flying back empty to Bangkok may also be offered as an empty leg, at a fixed time.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai cost?

Example price: a one-way flight costs €10,500 in a 7-seat Phenom 300, for 1h10 of flying. The final amount depends on the date, the aircraft available and taxes. For nine passengers, a Challenger 350 is priced from €5,500 per flight hour.

What is the flight time between Bangkok and Chiang Mai?

About 1h10 for some 570 km, with no time difference. An 08:00 departure from Don Mueang lands at around 09:10, and since both airports stay open 24 hours, the return can leave late in the evening.

Do private jet passengers clear customs between Bangkok and Chiang Mai?

In principle, no: the flight is domestic. The Thai AIP requires a customs airport only for aircraft entering or leaving Thailand. Customs, immigration and the TDAC arrival card are handled once, on entry into the country.

Can the private jet stay in Chiang Mai during the trip?

Yes, on the apron, as the airport has no hangar for visiting aircraft. A ground handler is mandatory for any non-scheduled flight. For several nights, we compare that parking with an empty return to Bangkok.

Our Bangkok office arranges this flight to or from Chiang Mai, Yi Peng weekend included: describe your trip up north.
