We fly smiles
Nok Air is the only airline that still operates fly direct flights from Don Mueang Airport. When compared to traveling by bus, this is the best way to save time when visiting Mae Hong Son. You’ve gotten a little closer to Mae Hong Son.
You can either plan a sightseeing tour of the town or take a day trip up the mountain. And relax at a resort that is hidden in nature.
I have a few suggestions for things to do in your free time while you’re here. [What to do and spend a week in Mae Hong Son] or reading a blog from a category of things to do.

A flight from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son takes just 45 minutes. Even when you add on the time of getting to and from the airport, it’s much more expedient than a car or bus.
It will take you 15 minutes to walk from Mae Hong Son Airport to the city center. If you have a guesthouse reservation near the lake, I would recommend it.
Nok Air has canceled the flight Chiang Mai – Mae Hong Son from 22 November 2022 onwards. So we do not any updates from this airline.
Please check the flight schedule and route at Nok Air website or Maehongson Airport before travel.

Travel by car with excursions
In addition, if you have more extension days, you can travel by car with excursions. We offer car rentals with English-speaking drivers and transfer services between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son.
Due to its proximity to high mountains, cold temperatures, and morning mist, Mae Hong Son province is known as “A slow life city of the mist.”
The city is rich in natural resources such as mountains, forests, and flowers, making it one of Thailand’s must-see cities.
