Airplane from Bangkok to Chiang Mai
The most expensive way, but the most comfortable and fast, especially if you make a transfer right at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport after arrival from Russia. I did not see direct flights to Chiang Mai, but if you initially need to Chiang Mai, then look and fly with transfer, save money. They often cost the same as just Moscow-Bangkok.
You need to know that low-cost airlines do not fly from Suvarnabhumi Airport so the price of the flight will be higher than if you were flying from Don Muang low-cost airline AirAsia or Nokair. Get out Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang can be a 30-60 minute taxi or free shuttle bass. On the links about airports read, everything is there It is written in detail, I will not repeat.

Train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai
How to buy a train ticket via the Internet
You can buy a train ticket, both at the box office of Hua Lamphong, and in any travel agency on the street of Bangkok. In my opinion, if so buy tickets at the agency, it is best to do it in advance and through the Internet. Only 12Go.asia has such an opportunity now. Payment by credit card or paypal. Train ticket is not electronic, be sure to get the original, either in the agency office (several points) or by mail. Unfortunately thai iron roads do not support e-ticketing system.

Avtokozkal Mochit
Buses to Chiang Mai from Bangkok run from the MoChit bus station. there is day and night flights, go almost every half an hour. Usually there are always tickets, but if you have to leave at a certain time or by a certain class, it is better to buy in advance of course, especially during the Thai holidays. By the time to go 8-10 hours. The ticket costs 400-800 baht, depending on the class (vip, 1, 2). Second class is the cheapest, and the cheapest bus Goverment bus (just 400 baht). All buses are good and with air conditioners (compared to the fact that they go around Russia for the same distances). But on the night flight, I would advise buying tickets more expensive Vip-24, Vip-32, Vip first class.
North MoChit bus station is a 15-minute walk from Mochit (BTS) and Chatuchak Park (MRT) metro stations are nearby, one branch aboveground (BTS), another underground (MRT). If you go from Suvarnabhumi Airport, then take the City Line (branch from airport to the city), you reach the Phaya Thai station, where transfer to the Skytrain Skytrain and reach the Mochit station.

On a rented car
Perhaps this way to get to Chiang Mai makes sense to consider as a separate journey, for it is enough to go far away, and if you have cheap air tickets (this is not Samui), You can fly completely by plane. However, if you go by car, then you can drop into a bunch of places along the way, in Ayuttayu the same, or in Sukhothai I have already described all the details of the lease. By the way, the car you can and take at the airport of Chiang Mai, as you wish. It will also be convenient you can travel across the north, I have done this many times already and I want to still.

Cars need to be taken through a trusted broker Economybookings, through them cheaper than directly. Plus, he immediately show on his website all offers from international distributors in Thailand.

Hertz takes nothing, if you take for a period of 5 days. And just on the site aggregator convenient compare what is more profitable, Hertz without a commission or another companies with a commission, but cheaper by the day.
