How to travel around Thailand by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Thailand

  • Check domestic carry-on and checked baggage separately
    Thai Airways provides separate carry-on and checked-baggage information subject to its conditions. Check your booking and operating airline for domestic segments rather than assuming identical conditions across products.
  • Domestic destinations and flight search in Thailand
    Thai Airways' Thailand domestic destination page lists Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai, Khon Kaen, Krabi, Phuket, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani. Confirm flight availability for your travel date on the airline's booking page.

Arriving from another country

  • Check TDAC applicability and travel permission separately
    Non-Thai arrivals to whom TDAC applies should follow the current official digital arrival-card process. TDAC is not a visa; check applicable visas, permissions and travel documents separately.
