How long to fly to Thailand. Flight to Thailand or my first time. How much to fly to Thailand from Kiev

One of the first questions that arises when preparing for a trip to Thailand is how many hours fly to Thailand. In fact, how long it takes to fly depends on whether the flight is direct or transit.

How many hours depending on the flight

Direct flight

In the case of a direct flight, the flight will take about 9 hours  from Moscow to Bangkok, and about 9:30 hours from Moscow to Phuket. This is the main time worth counting on. By the way, this is how all charter flights that fly on package tours fly, as well as those people who bought last-minute tickets (Transaero, Aeroflot). For more information about personal experience, read the link in my article.

Transit flight

However, most often you have to fly it in transit (one or more transfers), since such flights are more common. This applies to those who buy tickets in advance, and those who decided to save. So in this case, it is more difficult to predict the flight time, since it depends on which city the transplant will be in and how long it will last. The average transit time from Moscow to Bangkok is about 12-17 hours, but it also happens that an overnight stay can be made at the transfer point.

How many hours fly to Thailand from other cities

As a rule, tickets from Moscow are cheaper, but this is not always the case, and again, not everyone has the goal of saving, especially when traveling far to Moscow, and this will take time and money.

From Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk and Khabarovsk fly to Thailand about 7 hours.
  From Rostov-on-Don, Samara and Ufa about 8 hours.
  From St. Petersburg the longest is about 10 hours.

In any case, you will find out the exact number when you start looking for and booking a ticket, for example, through good search engines for airline tickets and all the discounts are there. Fortunately, it is not difficult now. When we first flew to Thailand for the winter, we bought EgyptAir airline tickets with a 3-hour transfer in Cairo, and in total the entire flight Moscow-Cairo-Bangkok took about 17 hours.

The remaining answers to questions regarding travel to Thailand or wintering there, you can find in mine.

The question is how much to fly to Thailand appears first, from tourists who bought tickets to this wonderful country. To find out the answer, you need to consider several factors - a direct flight or a transfer? Also, destination and city of departure. In this review you will find the answer to the question how long to fly to Thailand from Moscow and other Russian cities

How much to fly to Thailand from Moscow?

And from Moscow to Thailand, the most popular direct flight is Aeroflot. The flight lasts 8:30 - 8:50 hours. The direct Aeroflot return flight from Bangkok to Moscow flies an hour longer, i.e. 9:30 hours.

How to get from Thailand airport?

Bus to Pattaya

If you fly to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and you need to Pattaya, the cheapest way to get there is by bus, a ticket for which costs 125 baht. This method is also the longest, because tickets for it cannot be purchased in advance, and in view of the large number of people who want to go to the resort, tickets are bought up quickly.
  As a result, most likely you will have to wait 1-2 hours before departure and another 2 hours to go to Pattaya.

Taxi to Pattaya

You should not use a taxi at the airport and especially take a private trader. The price tag is high; fraud and deception of various kinds are not rare. The most reliable way to get to Pattaya from the airport is fast and comfortable, order a taxi in advance.
  We use KiwiTaxi  I can recommend them safely. If the flight is delayed - wait. They are greeted with a sign, you will not miss each other, even if you do not have a Thai number or you do not speak English.
  It is important that they provide a child seat and cars are well maintained and clean.
  For a company or family, this option is most convenient, since it is cheaper than private owners ask, and the level of service and reliability is one hundred times higher. You can order either a small sedan or a jeep, or a minibus that can fit several suitcases.

On the road from Bangkok to Pattaya (and vice versa), a new segment of the toll road has recently appeared and the price of private owners has risen. Qiwi Taxi remained the same.

How many fly to Thailand from other cities of Russia

From Khabarovsk to Thailand fly - 7.5 hours
From St. Petersburg to Thailand fly - 10-10.5 hours

If you have planned a vacation not in Pattaya or Phuket, but on other islands - such as Samui or Koh Chang, it is better to purchase tickets on your own for local airlines.
  Local carriers (Air Asia, Tiger, Bangkok Airves) have good prices for flights Bangkok - Samui or other islands, cities of Thailand.

How much to fly from Moscow to Phuket?

Basically, flights from Russia fly to Phuket with a change in Bangkok. Exceptions are Aeroflot and Royal Flight, which transport tourists directly to Phuket Airport.

Prices for flights with transfers to Phuket are significantly lower than direct flights.

How much to fly from Moscow to Pattaya?

If you want to fly to Pattaya (Utapao) airport, then you should know that flights from Russia fly there only during the high tourist season, from November to April. And then, most often with a transplant.
  Transplantation can be both in Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), and at the airport of Phuket.

An indirect flight from Russia to Pattaya lasts from 14 to 20 hours.

There is no point in buying a Moscow-Pattaya flight, since during the time spent on a transplant in Bangkok, you will already get to the resort. The exception is direct flights. It is also worth clarifying that Moscow-Pattaya flights are more expensive than Moscow-Bangkok.

However, if you are offered such an option on a tourist package, agree. From Pattaya Airport (Utapao) to the city, go only 30 km, while from Suvarnabhumi Airport 150 km.

How much to fly to Samui?

There are no direct flights from Moscow to Samui, although there is an airport on the island. Samui Airport is private and operates only on local flights.

To get to Samui from Moscow, you have to fly to Bangkok, and then transfer by plane to the island. Such a trip will be from 11 hours.

How much to fly to Krabi?

There is no direct communication with Krabi from Russia, so as in the case of Samui, you will have to make a transfer in Bangkok. Most often, flights from Russia to Krabi are offered by Qatar Airways. You can also collect the flight yourself by buying a ticket to Bangkok, and then to Krabi by local airlines.

Fly to Krabi from Moscow with a change of 13 hours.

How is the flight Moscow-Bangkok?

The flight to Thailand from Russia will take from 8:30 hours, during which time you cross several time zones and eat twice.

In flight:

Before taking off, the flight attendants will offer sweets. Agree, they help reduce pressure on the ears.

After about 1.30 minutes, they will begin to deliver food. On the flight from Russia, it will be Russian food, on the reverse, European and Thai. You can also order food yourself from the proposed menu no later than 24 hours before departure. This can be done on the website of the airline carrier.

2 hours before boarding, passengers will be fed again

and an hour before the flight attendant’s landing, they will be given out migration cards to fill out. If you don’t know how, ask for a sample.

Landing lasts an average of about half an hour, after which you get immediately to the airport terminal

Should I insure luggage and flight?

By law, any citizen traveling abroad needs medical travel insurance, even if it is not required by the state to which the passenger flies. You can buy the options “flight insurance” and “baggage insurance” with this insurance. Such a service is worth a penny, but can be very useful in case of force majeure. Moreover, delays, cancellations are not uncommon, but no one canceled the loss or damage to baggage.

In this article I told in detail, as well as how to get compensation in an insured event.

How to get up to 600 euros for canceled / delayed flights?

This is not an easy time for airlines. Compensation of harm and damage on an industrial scale has been taken by companies helping to compensate tourists with a delay or cancellation of a flight.
  Not many people know that you can get from 200 to 600 euros for each flight if the airline somehow violated the rules of transportation.

This category includes delay, flight cancellation, overbooking. Given that there are few practicing lawyers in this area among tourists, it is more reliable to entrust this matter to professionals, especially since you only need a flight number and a date. All. Then you just wait when the money falls on the card. The company that represents your interests takes a small compensation, and then only when it seeks payment to you.

Another good news is that you can get money for the last 6 years, as the statute of limitations is just that. I.e. If you have had unsuccessful flights recently, I advise you to check the information whether you can count on compensation.

Thailand annually gathers thousands of tourists from all over the planet. The Russians chose the country's resorts more than 20 years ago. From year to year, the number of starting points is increasing. Most flights, of course, from Moscow and St. Petersburg. The periphery is not far behind. We calculate how much time it takes to fly to Bangkok and Phuket from the largest Russian cities.

How much to fly from Russia to Phuket

• RoyalFly;
• Lufthansa;
• Sipgapur Eralines;

A direct flight will be the fastest to fly with Aeroflot - in 8 hours 40 minutes (+/- 5-10 minutes). But flights "Moscow-Bangkok" in this case will cost more than transportation with a transfer. The transplant can “eat” from 4 to 7 hours, depending on the operator operating the flight.

For example, with Etihad Airways or Qatar Airways you can fly in 12 hours 45 minutes and 13 hours 30 minutes, respectively. The first company will make a stop in Abu Dhabi, the second in Doha.


  Air China flies the longest with a transplant in Beijing. About 19 hours 30 minutes - 20 hours. But the stop in the capital of China lasts for seven whole hours. Time can be spent to the benefit of studying the metropolis. The main thing is not to get lost on 1.4 hectares of airport space and in the city itself, which is 35 km away. Otherwise, there is a risk of being late for the flight. And then not just the hour, but every minute will count.

Of the combined, the fastest flight is from S7 and Air China, Thai Airways. A transplant in the Chinese capital will be from 5 hours, and the total flight time - more than half a day (15 hours and above).

With a transfer to Abu Dhabi, the flight can be from one day.

The longest is in the Japanese capital. In Tokyo, you will have to spend 10 hours or more. But you can see the city. The flight is operated by Japan Airlains, and the journey takes about 20 hours.

The fastest flight is with Asiana Airlains. Airplanes dominate tourists in 10 hours with an hour change in Seoul.

We determine how many hours the flight lasts to one of the “winter” vacation spots most beloved by Russians.

Thailand International Airports

Tourism business in Thailand is booming as never before, and the state is receiving
  There is a decent profit from this industry. Therefore, the infrastructure of the airports has been brought to a decent level for comfortable meetings and departures of vacationers.

The main international airports of the country are located in Bangkok and Phuket. In the capital, this is Suvarnabhumi (one of the largest in Asia) and Don Muang, and on the island - Phuket Airport.

Copying of materials is allowed only with the obligatory indication of a direct, active and open to indexing hyperlink to the site.

What to do during a flight to Thailand?

Despite the fact that airlines are trying to diversify the pastime of passengers in flight, there is no guarantee that you will not be bored until Thailand itself. So, what do we do in flight (mandatory program):

• At the beginning of the flight during acceleration and take-off it will not be boring, the body experiences some stress. Before take-off, the flight attendants give out sweets, it is better to take one or two, as during take-off they lay their ears, sweets cause abundant swallowing of saliva, and this helps.
• 30-40 minutes after take-off, drinks will be offered and preparations for serving dinner will begin (on the way back, dinner prepared in Thailand is served, but for now we are satisfied with what our cooks have prepared).
• 2 hours before landing, they will be fed breakfast (although there are flights where they feed 3 times during the flight Moscow-Bangkok).
• After breakfast, the flight attendants will distribute migration cards, fill them out by putting out a table for food, for which we need a pen and a sample fill, if this is done for the first time.
• Landing lasts about 40 minutes, it’s also not boring here, especially since the sun rises in Thailand at about 6 in the morning and by the time of our arrival gorgeous views from the window open upon lowering.

From an optional program: watching movies from a local video library, the screen is located right in front of you on an adjacent chair, if you can’t figure out the system’s work, contact the flight attendant, she will show how to control the system, select and watch movies.

You can have your own computer with you, this significantly shortens the time in flight. The fact is that the standard headphones offered to the aircraft video system are very inconvenient, and their own headphones are not suitable.

You can also read the magazines that are in the lower pocket in the front seat of your neighbor. But the best thing is to sleep in flight or at least take a nap (the plane arrives in Thailand in the morning, many may only check in after 14-00, and not everyone will want to lose the first day to sleep and wake up in Thai nights). To do this, it is advisable to have something like an ear plug with you, and a blindfold is on the plane.

It is also convenient to transfer the flight to Thailand with special pillows for the neck, inside of which air or, in the ideal case, sand.

We wish you a pleasant flight and we hope that the time spent on flying to Thailand from your city will fly by!
