TLDR : Answer Summary

If you're looking to travel from Pattaya to Chiang Mai without flying, you have a couple of good options. Many travelers recommend taking a bus from Mo Chit Station in Bangkok, where Sombat Tours offers comfortable services. Alternatively, the night train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai provides a scenic route and a chance to sleep comfortably. The State Railway of Thailand is where you can find train schedules and booking options. Be sure to check Google for current prices and times.

Night train is a great option. Wonderful views early morning coming into Chiang Mai. Comfortable sleep before that - much better than a bus ride
