TIP: Booking Buses to Chiang Mai

Even though there are a lot of buses running between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, I recommend booking your bus ticket in advance if you can. Especially if you are looking to leave at a specific time. The buses do tend to sell out pretty fast, especially for the VIP and first class buses.

The differences:
*A Class (second class): 2 / 2 bus seating. Air con. Should take 3 to 4 hours with a 15 minute break during. Costs 144 baht.

*X Class (first class): 2 / 2 bus seating. Air con. Bottle of water. This should take 3 to 4 hours as well with a 15 minute break. Costs about 190 baht.

*VIP: 1 / 2 bus seating. Air con. Bottle of water and a snack. To my understanding this should also take 3 to 4 hours but with no stops. This costs about 288 baht.

They do tend to blast the air-con so best to carry a sweater with you to keep you warm during the ride.
