Hi, can anybody confirm that it is possible to travel to Thailand through Chiang Mai from another country like Vietnam or is mandatory to enter through Phuket or Bangkok (as a German citizen). Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, German citizens can enter Thailand through Chiang Mai as long as they arrive by flight, as Chiang Mai has an international airport. It is not mandatory to enter through Phuket or Bangkok.

Vietnam has no border with Thailand.

By flight you can enter thailand there.

Tha-akatsayan Chiangmai (Airport Chiang Mai) is an international airport with many international flights to many countries.
