Starting October 27th, 2024, travelers can enjoy convenient and seamless connections to this cultural gem, nestled in the heart of northern Thailand. This new route marks the airline’s third destination in Thailand, adding to their existing services to Bangkok and Phuket. With daily flights, travelers have even more flexibility to customize their Thailand adventures.
Chiang Mai beckons with its unique blend of cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Discover the city’s charm through its historic temples, immerse yourself in rich traditions, and unwind in a serene atmosphere. Chiang Mai offers something for everyone, whether you’re a solo traveler seeking adventure or a family looking for a peaceful retreat.
The city is also home to some of Thailand’s most significant cultural landmarks, including several UNESCO World Heritage sites. These sites add to the allure of Chiang Mai, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a deeper cultural immersion.
The timing of these new flights is particularly exciting, as visitors can experience the magical Loy Krathong Festival in November. This enchanting celebration transforms Chiang Mai into a vibrant spectacle of light, color, and tradition. During the festival, locals and tourists alike participate in lively parades, traditional dances, and the mesmerizing release of “krathongs.” These lotus-shaped baskets filled with flowers and candles are floated onto the rivers, creating a truly captivating and spiritual atmosphere.
One of the most iconic moments of the Loy Krathong Festival is the release of thousands of illuminated lanterns into the night sky. As these lanterns ascend, carrying the hopes and wishes of those who launched them, the sight is truly breathtaking. For many travelers, experiencing this festival is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and Hong Kong Airlines’ new flights provide even more opportunities to witness this cultural spectacle firsthand.
Beyond the festival, Chiang Mai boasts a thriving arts and crafts scene and a culinary landscape that will tantalize your taste buds.

This multifaceted destination promises something for every type of traveler, from adventure seekers to those looking to immerse themselves in Thai traditions. With the strategic addition of Chiang Mai to its growing network, Hong Kong Airlines continues to position itself as a leading carrier in the region.
