How to Reach Thailand from Chennai

By Air: Travelling from Chennai to Thailand by air is one of the best ways to reach Thailand from Chennai. There are many direct flights from Chennai to Bangkok or Phuket, which can be boarded from the Chennai International Airport (MAA). The destination city can be chosen according to the person’s willingness to visit the area. Going by the budget, Chennai to Bangkok flights are cheaper and take up to 4 hours to reach the destination. The fares will be reasonable if the trip is planned beforehand.

By Rail: Reaching Thailand from Chennai by rail is impossible as there are no direct trains connecting the two places. Both the places have a well-connected network of railways, but none is joining each other. One can reach Bangkok from Chennai by air and then avail the various train services there. The two stations in Bangkok- Hua Lamphong Railway Station and Thonburi Train Station are well connected to the surrounding areas as well as the various other cities of Thailand.

By Road: With a Chennai to Thailand distance of about 4900 km, it can take around 96 hours for a person to reach Thailand. The route will be Chennai-Manipur-Myanmar-Thailand, or one can go via Bangladesh also. Visas are required for all the countries visited on the way. Though the idea of a road trip looks fun, it can be quite expensive and tiresome at the same time. Therefore, it is recommended only for those with a love for adventure.
