A direct flight from London to Bangkok usually takes about 11 hours and 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the departure airport. If you take a one-stop flight, the total travel time increases. Keep in mind that the layover often adds 2 to 4 hours of ground time.

Manchester’s first-ever direct route to Bangkok is about to begin with Norse Atlantic Airways. This new weekly service will take around 11 hours and 30 minutes from take-off to landing.

Until that starts, every flight from Manchester to Thailand involves at least one stop. In these cases, your flying time will be close to 12 hours, but the total journey will be longer because of the layover. Depending on the stopover length, your full trip could take 15 hours or more.

You can fly to Thailand from Birmingham Airport, but there are no direct services at the moment. Every flight involves one or more stops, whether you are travelling to Bangkok or Phuket.

Flights from Birmingham to Bangkok often connect through hubs in the Middle East or Europe. This can make the total journey anywhere from 17 to 27 hours, depending on your airline and how long you wait between flights.

Flying from Birmingham can save you the hassle of travelling to London airports. If you want to cut down your travel time, choose a connection with the shortest layover possible.

The ideal months to enjoy Thailand are from November to February. These months bring cooler, dry weather, with daytime temperatures of about 19 to 30 °C and very little rain. It is the most comfortable time to explore beaches and cultural sites.

If you plan to visit the Andaman Coast, including Phuket and Krabi, you will find the driest conditions during this period. 

The rainy season runs from May to October in most of Thailand. Showers can be heavy but are usually short. The bonus of travelling during this time is lower prices and fewer tourists, so you can enjoy the country without the crowds.

For UK visitors, Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport is the key hub, which welcomes the majority of long-haul services. The good thing is that the airport is well organised, so getting through arrivals is simple. From here, you can quickly connect to domestic flights heading to Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, and other top destinations.

Thailand’s cheapest months are April, May, September, and October, thanks to the rainy season. Travelling at these times means you will also pay less for accommodation, tours, and eating out. You will get some rain, but you will also enjoy smaller crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere.

If you want the lowest prices, it helps to book a few months ahead.

According to FCDO, most parts of Thailand are safe for you to visit. Popular destinations such as Bangkok and the islands are considered low-risk. However, you should still remain alert, as in any country.

The FCDO advises you to avoid all but essential travel to the southern border provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, and parts of Songkhla, as well as some areas near the Cambodia border. These areas face security concerns, including occasional clashes and the presence of landmines.

You should never carry cannabis in any amount. Thai drug laws are strict, and breaking them can lead to arrest or prosecution.

Yes, you can visit Thailand without a visa if you hold a UK passport. Under the visa exemption scheme, you may stay for up to 60 days for tourism, business, or urgent short-term work. You will receive a stamp on arrival at the airport.

If you want to stay longer, you can extend your visit by 30 days at a Thai immigration office, giving you a total of up to 90 days.
