-- TO LAOS --
From downtown Chiang Rai, there are minibuses to Chiang Saan and then to Chiang Kong. There, you can catch a ferry across Kong River (Mae Kong) to Laos. From Luang Namta district on Lao's side you can either catch a fast (6-7 hours) or slow (overnight) ferry to Luang Prabang via Vang Vieng.
-- TO BURMA --
From downtown, take a minibus to Mae Sai (there're also direct buses from Bangkok to Mae Sai.) From Mae Sai, I suggest you catch Mandalay Air to Mandalay or Yangoon cuz the road condition is really poor..... Theme: Bus

Take bus from Chiangmai (Arcade) Bus Terminal , there are both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned bus services , air-conditined bus price 169 baht, it's take
around 3-4 hours to get to the city.
-- Travel in Chaing Rai in one day--
Buy return ticket from Chiang Mai (Arcade bus terminal) to Chiang Rai .
I suggest you to visit Wat Rong Khun first, it's nearby the main road on left hand side, just ask bus driver to drop you at " Wat Rong Khun".
After enjoy seeing Wat Rong Khun in the morning, You can get a local bus or Songtaew from the main road to Chiang Rai city and start a city tour by walking, taking Sam lor or rent a bicycle. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Public transport consists mainly of tuk-tuks and songthaews, plus a smaller number of taxis. The city itself can be explored on foot, but for trips into the province consider renting a car or a motorbike. Budget and Avis both have offices in Chiang Rai and there are several local agencies. If you don't feel up to driving in what may be a very different environment, then consider hiring a car with driver - it doesn't cost much more. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 The spacious and comfortable
VIP bus by mim95
If you want to save a night's accomodation, take the last bus. From CR it was the 7pm bus, and it arrived at BKK at around 6am or so. The bus schedule is posted on the ticket window, make sure it's the VIP bus. There are other companies that operate the same route at about the same price. I didn't go with them, as the guidebooks recommended the government buses are more reliable.
I was thinking of heading back down to Chiang Rai by regular bus, then take the train back to BKK. But the price works out to be roughly the same. But it's troublesome as you have to transfer from the CM bus station to the train station. So I think taking the VIP bus is the best way if you do not plan to fly. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

You can travel by both on road and fly-in. From Bangkok, catch a bus at Mo Chit Bus Station, near Jatujak weekend market. I recommend the VIP (24-seat) buses, very comfy and reliable. There are several operators, but the most famous one is Siam First Tour. The bus leaves at 5-6-7-8 p.m. expect to pay around 800 Baht - travel time 12+ hours.
