Getting to Thailand
Thailand is situated in the ideal position in the middle of South-East Asia's most popular countries to travel. There are many ways to get into the the Kingdom of Thailand and we will provide information here about the best options.
Bangkok is Thailand's major gateway. Most visitors arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport because it is directly connected to Europe, Asia, north America and Australasia by daily flights aboard the world's major airlines.
Further international flights, mainly from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, land at Phuket and Hat Yai International Airports in the south and Chiang Mai in the north.
A regular rail service links Singapore and Bangkok via Kuala Lumphur and Butterworth in Malaysia. This service leaves daily and also connects with many major southern Thai towns.
