Air China will introduce a Beijing – Chiang Mai service starting on November 7, 2013. Since many Chinese tourists began to wander the streets and temples of Chiang Mai en masse – due to the recent fun movie “Lost in Thailand” – there is an urgent need to connect Chiang Mai with China directly. Now Air China is taking the lead.
Located in Thailand’s mountainous North , Chiang Mai is is ready to open the door of opportunity to welcome Chinese visitors. “The Rose of the North” as the town is called continues to lure tourists with its magnificent landscapes, Buddhist monuments, rich tradition of arts, luxurious hotels and resorts, as well as diversity of leisure activities.

The city’s essential infrastructure with its international airport, quality accommodation and meeting venues, reliable network of ground transportation and tour operators is ready for the world. The newly opened Chiang Mai Convention Centre is set to boost the city’s appeal for business events even furtrher.

Beijing – Chiang Mai – Beijing flights, CA823/4, are operated three times a week on Monday/Thursday/Saturday using B737-800. The outbound flight departs from Beijing at 18:30 Beijing time and arrives in Chiang Mai at 22:40 local time.
