Other ways to get from Bangkok to Chiang Mai:
Travel on this service is one of the slowest ways to travel, so you should also take a look at either:
If you can handle a long night in a noisy third class seat, this train offers the cheapest way to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai using any transport.
The second class compartments are also fan cooled, but offer more comfortable seats.
By fare most comfortable are the Day & Night carriages.
Lower berths offer the most comfortable sleep and are considerably wider than the upper berths (so they cost more and sell out quickly).
These carriages are air-condtioned and can get quite cold at times, so bring something warm to wear.
All long distance sleeper services in Thailand travel with a restaurant car attached, where you can buy reasonably priced food and soft drinks (no alcohol allowed) for dinner or breakfast.
