You Would Think Air Travel Is Expensive in Thailand.

Wrong!

In fact Thailand is a great hub because going anywhere from there is very affordable and diverse.

Flights within Thailand are usually around 2000 Baht to most destinations within Thailand.

Flights to the neighboring countries:

 • Malaysia

 • Cambodia

 • Laos

 • Myanmar are cheap too.

A great option is to book in advance and do a little flight comparison research.

Below will get you started with the top Thai airlines and their destinations.

Your #1 Most Economical Option - Air Asia


inside one of Thailand airlines

Thai AirAsia is the only low-cost airline in Thailand operating both domestic and international flights.

It's unique because those flights are from the Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport.

AirAsia or Thai AirAsia offers some of the lowest air fares if booked in advanced.

The drawback with Air Asia is that it's very impersonable and you get no frills at all.  Basic food and water costs extra.  If you're okay with that then I recommend this airline.
