How To Reach Thailand

Traveling to Thailand from India by air is the best and the easiest option. The most frequented airports in Thailand are the Suvarnabhumi Airport and the Don Mueang International Airport, which also happens to be the oldest operating airport in Asia. Phuket and Chiang Mai International Airports can also be reached, but usually not directly. It takes nearly 4 hours to travel from Delhi to Thailand by air. Mumbai to Thailand flights are frequent and the most affordable. The average nonstop flight time is around 3 hours. Flights of both mainstream and low-cost carriers ferry more than once too and from the Thai capital. To avail the cheapest flights, one needs to keep an eye out at the off-season charts. Since most of South Asia gets heavy rain during the early monsoon, the rates of flight tickets are low. The various online portals also offer sales and discounts throughout the year which you could be eligible for.

There is no international line that connects India to Thailand by train, as it is geographically impossible. The only international train line that exists to Thailand is from Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar station at the Thailand–Malaysia border.

Thailand is connected to India via the India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway that passes through Myanmar for the most part. The distance of travel is approximately 3200 km and takes a day and a half to complete. The road starts from Moreh in Manipur, India and passes through Myanmar connecting with Mae Sot in Thailand. This is the easiest way to go from India to Thailand by road. However, the trip is best made during the dry months of stable weather and should be avoided during the monsoon. November to February is the ideal time to make the plan a trip from Delhi to Thailand by road. It can be made on any vehicle, but powerful six-wheeler SUVs are preferred. The tourists have to ensure that the driver has an International Driving Permit along with a valid Driver’s license and all the papers of the vehicle. You will need to show these papers at the various checkpoints since you are will be crossing two international borders and go through three countries. Since the drive is long, it would be wise to pack food and drinks as well as medicines, if the tropical climate does not suit you well.
