TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling from Chiang Mai to Bangkok by car is considered an essential trip, so travelers should fill out the online travel authority form. However, there may be curfews in place if passing through dark red provinces along the route. Some travelers suggest using postal services for passport collection to avoid travel altogether.

It can be classified as an essential trip. So fill in the travel authority form online and you'll be ok. Just be aware that if you travel through any dark red provinces in your way there will be a curfew in place

PM Tangerine. Screenshot. If anyone wants to check it, they'll scan the barcode. Note that you can only complete the Online form on the day your are travelling as there's no facility to select a date, and the QR code will probably expire
