Flying to Bangkok from the UK
Bangkok is the main gateway to Thailand and a common first stop for backpacking trips and island holidays in Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui. The cooler, drier months from about November to February are the busiest.
Direct flights from London take around 11.5 hours. Connecting flights through the Gulf or Istanbul can be cheaper, and they split the journey, which some people find easier. If you are continuing to the islands, ask us to include an onward domestic flight.
