Bhutan tours from Thailand
Bangkok is Bhutan's busiest gateway, with daily flights to Paro and easy same-day connections.
The journey
Flying to Bhutan from Thailand
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi has the most frequent flights to Paro of any city outside India, with Drukair and Bhutan Airlines both operating the route.
Because the flight is short and the schedule is good, Bangkok is also the gateway we recommend to guests connecting from Australia, Europe and the Americas.
Routes that work
Bangkok to Paro
Daily or near-daily morning flights, around four hours.
Chiang Mai
Domestic hop to Bangkok, then Paro the next morning.
- Best time to go
- All year. October to December is dry and clear, March to May brings rhododendrons.
- Visa
- Thai passport holders need a Bhutan visa. We apply on your behalf and include the daily Sustainable Development Fee in your quote.
Good to know
Tips for travellers from Thailand
- Paro flights leave Bangkok early, so stay near the airport the night before
- Baggage limits on the Paro sector are tighter than long-haul, ask us first
- Seven to nine days is the sweet spot from Bangkok
- Bhutan is much cooler than Thailand, bring proper layers
