TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling from Chiang Rai to Bangkok Airport can be done by various means, including taxi or train. If opting for a taxi, it is advisable to register for interprovincial travel permission, which can be done online through thethaiger.com. This process seems straightforward based on user experiences. Alternatively, trains are also available and may be a viable option for travel.
