We went to Thailand in March 1999, so most of the info you'll find here dates from that period unless otherwise stated.

Bangkok is one of the main transport hubs in Asia, and many travellers
simply buy a cheap ticket to Bangkok and catch a flight from their to
go further. Also check the "Asean airpass chapter for this".

Instead of spending our first days in Thailand in Bangkok like most
other travellers, we decided to fly immediately to Chiang Mai. Bangkok
can be a very hot and overwhelming city, and we thought it would be
therefore better to acclimatise to the heat and the jet lag in the
North, and I think that was a good decision.

Pai is a small little town, no mass tourism yet, and I hope that the
long curved road will keep it that away. It's 4 hours by bus from
Chiang Mai. Pai has a big variety of guesthouses starting with simple
bamboo-huts at 50 Baht pp, but has also beautiful resorts in the direct
surrounding, up to 700 Baht for a hut. The area has a lot to offer,
this can be discovered by mountainbike or motorbike, or by foot. There
are several good trekkingcompanies here, a lot offer that same 3
day-package that you get in Chiang Mai. But from here you don't have to
sit in the car for so long on the first and last day.

The LP says that a lot of the morning flights in dry season get delayed
or cancelled because of fog. THIS IS TRUE !! What usually happens is
this: the first plane of 9.30 am gets delayed for about 1 to 2 hours.
THIS MEANS THAT ALSO THE 3rd FLIGHT GETS DELAYED, because this is the
same plane. The second flight of 11.30 am however is another one, and
by 11.30 am the fog has usually gone. So I strongly advise in dry
season to book the second flight which is usually on time, and to avoid
the first and the third flight. Secondly these flights tend to be
heavily booked by tour groups occupying 30 seats, so book ahead,
preferentially from home by internet, you've got nothing to loose with
making a reservation, since you pay once you're in Thailand.
