Exactly. You cannot rely on a direct ferry from HKIA Skypier because the office at Shekou port will be already closed.
So, you are suggested to take the second best option, at least in my opinion:
→ Take airport shuttle bus line A43 to Sheung Shui bus stop: 50 minutes, HKD 30.9
→ Take East Rail Line to Lo Wu / Luohu Port: 15 minutes, HKD 24.8
A bus stop in Sheung Shui is within the absolute walking distance from the East Rail Line station. In reality, they are practically next to each other.
First, you will reach Lo Wu crossing. This is Hong Kong side crossing port. There you will tell them that you will cross to Shenzhen and that you will obtain a Shenzhen VOA at Luohu. After you have done with the formalities at Lo Wu, you will walk some 100 meters to Luohu where you will apply for a Shenzhen VOA. It is advisable that you bring a passport size photo to speed up the process. In reality, the entire application process will not take more than 30 to 45 minutes or even less because you will arrive there relatively late. You will clearly state that you travel to Shenzhen because of your flight from Shenzhen airport to Chiang Rai. You are advised to have a printout of that ticket ready to be presented if asked.
After your Shenzhen visa is granted, you will take a Shenzhen metro Line 1 all the way to Qianhaiwan (Qian Hai Wan) station where you will transfer to Line 11 and continue to Airport station. This station is located underneath the T3 terminal of Shenzhen Bao'an airport from where you will take your Air Asia flight to Chiang Rai.
