TLDR : Answer Summary
The original post seeks information on the best and cheapest airlines flying to Savannakhet, Laos, for visa purposes. The discussion reveals that there are no direct flights from Chiang Mai to Savannakhet. Instead, participants suggest flying to nearby cities like Ubon Ratchathani or Nakhon Phanom and then taking a bus or taxi to Mukdahan, followed by crossing the border to Savannakhet. Recommendations include using airlines like Nok Air or Air Asia and staying overnight in Mukdahan or Savannakhet for convenience.

Okay, I think the O/P has caught on to the fact they ain't gonna fly from Chiang Mai to Savannakhet.

Seeing as the O/P wants to fly, doesn't want to take a mini-van or bus, and doesn't wanna switch planes in Bangkok to get there, I think this topic ran it's course.

Thanx to one and all for offering out the alternate ways they can get there.

Sorry I deleted your posts :/ They just didn't have much to do with flying to savannakhet from chiang mai was all.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere

There's NO way you can fly from Chiang Mai to Savannakhet direct.

Any more questions?

I'd recommend a flight to ubon and then a bus to mukdahan and then the bus to savan easy as cheese and you will have plenty time

Okay, the O/P did state in an answer to a post that they are in Chiang Mai and they are wanting to go get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai in Savannakhet.

Nok Air to Ubon Ratchathani - then taxi to the bus station. Bus to Mukdahan. If you are tired and want to go to the Savannaket Thai Consulate the next morning stop at the Kiengpiman hotel in Mukdahan - nice place and they will get you a taxi early to cross the bridge into Savannakhet. Or you can cross the bridge immediately after getting to Mukdahan and stay at the Avalon Hotel Savannakhet - nice place - easy to get to the Thai Consulate.

Flying in and out of Savannakhet is fought with poor schedules and high price.

Savannakhet don't ask for proof of funds either do they? Savannakhet is closer and they seem to give out those visas ok without any hassle

Might be my next stop long way though

Ho Chi Minh hands those visas out just as easily as Savannakhet does

you could use the thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. They give the same year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage with the same documentation that Savannakhet does (and they don't require proof of funds either (y) ).

I don't think anyone flies CMX to ZVK. Your best bet would be to fly to a nearby city (Nakhon Phanom, Ubon, etc) and take a mini van to Mukdahan then cross the bridge to Savannakhet.

Okay, now that we know what visa you're wanting and where in thailand you are, you're gonna get a LOT better answers.

Are you in Bangkok?

How about sayin' what kind of visa you're wanting? Maybe there's another consulate that'll issue it which is easier for you to get to.

Try nokair bus. Single storey, food, English movies about 750bht

Your BEST and cheapest airline to use would be either Air Asia or Nok Air and their Fly-N-Ride program to Mukdahan. Flying directly into Savannakhet ain't all that cheap.

None it's not cheap flying there.
