How to search for cheap flights Chiang Mai to Bangkok?

How to save money when there are multiple daily flights of the same route? First, which airline you choose can affect the flight price. Generally, national or more established airlines are more expensive than low-cost carriers. So, if you don't mind a no-frill flight or the possibility of landing/departing from a smaller airport, then you can save a few bucks with a budget airline. Second, what time of the day you travel matters. Less popular hours, e.g., early morning or late night, often cost less than the peak travelling periods like mid-day or early afternoon flights.
