Flights from the UK to Thailand
Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport has direct flights from London, taking around eleven and a half hours. Flying with one stop through the Gulf adds a few hours but opens up more UK airports and direct connections to Phuket and Krabi.
If you are heading to the islands, flying straight to Phuket or Krabi saves a domestic flight and a night in Bangkok. If you want both, an open-jaw ticket lets you start in one and finish in the other.
When to go
The Andaman coast, including Phuket and Krabi, is driest from November to April. The Gulf of Thailand, including Koh Samui, has its rainy season later in the year, from October to December.
Check the latest entry rules for your passport before you travel.
