  • The two airports in Bangkok

    • Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) is the most popular and convenient airport for arrivals in Thailand from your home country. Thai Airways offers flights to many European countries, and various other airlines serve further destinations worldwide.

    Due to the long travel time, when choosing your flight you should not only pay attention to the best price, but also to the departure and arrival times, the number and locations of stopovers, the seat quality and the in-flight entertainment program.

    If you are making a stopover in Hong Kong, Beijing or Shanghai, you should also consider visiting these cities and their impressive sights.

    Brief information

  • Check whether you need a visa to enter Thailand.
  • Choose your flight carefully, taking into account layovers, flight duration, comfort, and price.
  • When transferring from BKK to DMK, you should allow at least 4 hours between flights.
  • Before you travel, find out how to get from the airport to your accommodation.
  • Use a web portal such as skyscanner.com, farecompare.com or kayak.com to find the best flight options.

    • Flight to Bangkok

    Flight prices fluctuate throughout the year, so we can only provide a rough estimate. Depending on the season, booking time, and day of the week, prices can vary considerably. Flights with layovers from Europe are often cheaper than direct flights, but this increases travel time.

    To get from the airport to Bangkok city center, the Airport Rail Link is a good choice in addition to taxis or buses.

    There are currently no direct flights from the USA to Bangkok. Travelers from the USA must change planes in China, Hong Kong, Korea, or Tokyo. Travel time is approximately 22 to 28 hours, depending on the departure point (West or East Coast).

    For flights from smaller domestic airports in the US, you may have to plan for two or three layovers. The first could be Los Angeles, for example, which would increase your total flight time to over 30 hours, as you'd literally be traveling to the other side of the world.

    Flight prices start at around USD 1000 and vary depending on distance and season. Recommended airlines include American Airlines, Delta, China Southern, or Qatar Airways with a layover in Qatar instead of in Asia.

    Flight from Canada

    If arriving from Canada, a transfer in Hong Kong or Shanghai with China Eastern is required.

    Direct flights are offered primarily by Thai Airways and some domestic airlines from about half of European countries. From many Eastern European countries, a layover in Moscow is required. You can find more detailed information for your home country in our overview.

    The flight time is approximately twelve hours, and prices range from €700 to €1100 depending on the distance. Prices may vary depending on the season and booking time. An additional stopover can lead to a lower price. We particularly recommend the websites mentioned above to find suitable flight connections.

    Thai Airways and Qantas offer direct flights from Melbourne and Brisbane starting at around US$1,000, with a flight time of approximately 10 hours. Emirates and Qantas fly from Sydney at slightly lower prices.

    Thai Airways also flies to Perth with a flight time of approximately 7 hours. Travelers from Adelaide must change planes in Sydney. Alternatively, a connection via Singapore is possible, which offers significantly cheaper fares but considerably increases travel time.

    Thai Airways also offers a direct flight to and from Auckland, New Zealand, at a price of around US$1100 and a flight time of 12 hours.

    Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) is located approximately 30 km east of Bangkok. A taxi ride to the city center takes at least an hour, depending on traffic. The airport bus departs from below the airport and the Airport Link Express (100 Baht) will take you there in about 30 minutes. The Airport Link City Line makes more frequent stops but is slightly cheaper.

    Please note that the Airport Link only operates from 6:00 AM to midnight. Six bus lines offer a shuttle service to Bangkok city, and three more to other provinces, including the popular city of Pattaya.

    Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is Bangkok's second airport and primarily serves domestic flights. Airlines such as Nok Air, Air Asia, and Tiger Air fly to destinations like Cambodia, Malaysia, and Myanmar. A shuttle bus between the two airports is free with a valid flight ticket. The journey takes approximately one hour.
