Are there direct flights from the USA to Chiang Mai (CNX) now?

Mike *******

I don’t recall there ever being direct flights from USA to CNX. You’ll probably need to fly to BKK, then take a domestic airline (eg - Thai Smile, which has several flights each day and reasonable fares). Good luck.

Is there a form I need to fill out when flying with Qatar Airways back to the UK?

It’s just an acknowledgment form, though a bit redundant, but it’s three seconds work to sign and date so why not. (I signed one of these in the way through DOH last Nov)

Thailand is one of the most dangerous places in the world for road deaths, especially for motorcyclists. More taxis have functioning seatbelts these days, so a taxi is relatively safe. 🖖
