Blue and white taxi from Chiang Mai to Li Lamphun

If you want to come as early as possible you will need to take a blue taxi from Warrarot Market, Chiang Mai to Lamphun. And then from Lamphun to Li in a white taxi from the "River" (The taxi driver from Chiang Mai will know). I think they start from Chiang Mai about 5 or 6 o'clock and go to Lamphun every 15 minutes or so. The last ones go about 18:00 to Lamphun. But I think the last ones from Lamphun go about 16:00 or so. 

Cycling

You can cycle from Chiang Mai, the mountain route is very nice.
