The tour will start in the morning, at 08:30 a.m. Motorcycle Tours Thailand advises you to arrive at least one day before the tour starts in Chiang Mai and they recommend arrival two days before the tour starts to acclimate and avoid jet lag.

Chiang Mai International Airport
160 km
Transfer included
Please book your flights to arrive at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). Motorcycle Tours Thailand will pick you up at the airport. Most customers touring with Motorcycle Tours Thailand usually come from Bangkok and in this case, they recommend traveling up to Chiang Mai by one of the many flights operating on this route. It is not expensive and with companies such as Air Asia. The earlier you book, the cheaper the flight.
The train (night train) is another option; however, the Thai train network needs a serious overhaul. Take a look at the difference between the train cost and the flight costs compared to one-hour flying time or a 12-hour train journey along with the fact that the trains are notoriously unreliable. The train option is usually the odd one out.
A lot of buses start every hour from Bangkok’s Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit - Chatuchak) to Chiang Mai. Travel time with the bus will be around eight hours.
