The easiest way to reach Thailand is to fly into Suvarnabhumi International Airport. This is the country’s main gateway and it receives flights from all over the world. Other international airports include Phuket airport, which mainly services charter flights from European and Asian destinations, and Chiang Mai international, which serves limited destinations such as Mandalay (Myanmar), Kunming (China) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).

The main airlines offering flights to Thailand include: Thai Airways International, British Airways, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Gulf Air, EVA Air, Lufthansa, Alitalia, Air France and Air China, although there are many others from all over the world.

Overland entry points are also found most practically at Pedang Besar (Malaysia), Nong Khai (Laos), Aranya Prathet (Cambodia), Tak and Mae Sai (Myanmar), with little fuss. Apart from the Penang to Krabi/Phuket minibus transfer, or visiting Vientiane from Isaan, travel through these points is not comfortable nor recommended. Numerous local flights offer much more convenience.
