Flying from Hua Hin to Chiang Mai is refreshingly simple, and Dave and Kim document the trip on Air Asia along with their hotel pick near Chiang Mai Airport, the Sleep Mai. This video covers the travel day and what to expect on both ends.
A Direct Flight North
Hua Hin's small airport offers a rare convenience: a direct flight to Chiang Mai, skipping Bangkok entirely. Dave and Kim share their day of travel flying Air Asia out of Hua Hin, a route that turns what could be a ten hour bus or train journey into a short hop to the north. For a domestic flight, the whole day feels remarkably low stress.
Sleep Mai Near the Airport
On arrival, the video features the Sleep Mai Chiang Mai Hotel, their pick near Chiang Mai Airport. For travelers with early flights or late arrivals, an airport area hotel removes a lot of stress, and the footage gives viewers a real look at the property before they book.
