AirAsia is flying from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai

AirAsia today announces the launch of a new route from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai, Thailand. The new route will kick off with three weekly flights starting 2 November 2024.

Where is Chiang Rai?

Chiang Rai is the northern city of Thailand bordering Laos and Myanmar (golden triangle). Chiang Rai is part of Lanna Kingdom with Chiang Mai before they joined Siam (Thailand).

We visited Chiang Rai over 15 years ago. For decades, you have to drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai before the airport was built. With this new route, you can fly direct to Chiang Rai from  Kuala Lumpur and you have the option to drive to Chiang Mai from Chiang Rai.

This is not the first time AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai as they launched the flight in 2019 before the pandemic.

To mark the launch of the new route, AirAsia is offering FREE Seats* for flights from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai, now available for booking on AirAsia MOVE (formerly airasia Superapp) and airasia.com from today until 30 June 2024 for travel period between 2 November 2024 and 27 February 2025.

Dubbed the paradise of northern Thailand, Chiang Rai is a destination rich in cultural and natural attractions. Highlights include the stunning White Temple and Blue Temple, renowned for their unique and intricate designs. Nature enthusiasts can explore the scenic tea plantations at Choui Fong and the lush trails leading to Khun Korn Waterfall. With its blend of historic sites, such as the Golden Triangle and Tham Luang Cave, Chiang Rai promises a captivating and diverse travel experience.

Flight schedule between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Chiang Rai (CEI):

AirAsia is also offering 15 percent off** all seats on all flights to over 130 exciting destinations such as Chiang Mai, Perth, Sydney, Almaty, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Amritsar and more in celebration of its Skytrax win as the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline on Monday. The promotion starts from today until 30 June 2024 for travel period between 8 July 2024 and 20 March 2025.

Without this route, you have to fly to Chiangmai and take a 90 minutes drive to Chiang Rai. I hope to revisit Chiang Rai again and can’t wait AirAsia is flying from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai in November 2024.
