Clive, you think three hours isn't enough for a domestic to international transfer at BKK? I've never had it take even an hour...But your idea of a non-stop from Chiang Mai is a good one. I didn't know about the Vietjet flight.

Sound advice always is to never risk a Domestic Flight linking up with an International Flight on the same day. Sh*t regularly happens, particularly with the Domestic Flight, weather, schedule changed at last minute, delays and even cancellations.
Vietjet are a very good low cost airline. Their tartan thunderbird uniforms are ab fab too.

I think it's plenty of time. I've found the entry into BKK from other countries can be very slow, but you won't be coming through those immigration lines. Bangkok Air flights tend to run on time, IME.

Hopefully, you have travel insurance, just in case, there is a major delay! The Vietjet is a good suggestion, as it will involve a lot less air time and the transfer. Might even save one baggage fee.

Always stay overnight between flights, and completely remove all stress.

I would fly to Bangkok the day before. Better safe than sorry! Use the final night for last minute shopping. See the city for one final night. In the morning you can use the Airport Rail Link to go to the airport. The Rail Link connects with the Skytrain if you want to stay in another part of Bangkok not directly on the Rail Link route.
