✈ Flying to the Land of Smiles: Arriving in Thailand
The quickest and most convenient way to start your Thai adventure is definitely by plane. Thailand has several airports ready to welcome you:
- Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK): The bustling heart of international flights, you'll land here if you're coming from afar.
- Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK): Perfect if you're looking for low-cost or domestic flights, a bit like our "second gateway" to Bangkok.
- Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), Krabi (KBV), Koh Samui (USM): If your first stop is one of these gems, look for direct or connecting flights that take you straight to your corner of paradise.
How much does it cost to fly to Thailand? Well, it depends a bit on where you're departing from and when. Generally, from Italy or Europe, consider a budget of €500 - €1200 for a round trip. From North America, it goes up a bit, around $700 - $1500 USD. To move between the islands or Thai cities by plane, domestic flights range from €50 - €150.
