Which airline fly DIRECTLY from VN to Chang Mai

Hello everyone....my wife and I have read SOOOO MANY blogs about Chang Mai that we forgo the Thailand Tour and simply fly from Ho Chi Minh City (Viet Nam) to BKK and to Chang Mai.

Having said that, PLEASE HELP.  What airline flies from HCMC to BKK?  Is there an airline that flies DIRECTLY from HCMC to Chang Mai?  Is there such a flight?

When arriving in Chang Mai, where is the BEST place to get exchange money?  We've seen how beautiful the Mai Siam Resort is...is there a BETTER Place than Mai Siam Resort that is cheaper and offer Private Bungalow? 

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

THANKS,
Tien Tran

No direct flights that I know of but check out flights from Vietnam to Chang Mai via Vientiane or Luang Prabang in Laos.

Perhaps a short stopover in Vientiane. Check out Lao Airlines.

Hi, try Air Asia, the low cost airline. Direct from Ho chi min to Bkk then take the same air line to   Chiangmai for just another 1hr. They often  provide a cheap deal tickets. Cheers.
