The Pune to Bangkok air route connects Lohegaon (PNQ) to Bangkok Int'l (BKK). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Pune and Bangkok. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Pune to Bangkok for leisure, business, and cultural experiences. Bangkok offers a vibrant mix of modern city life and historical temples, bustling markets, and delicious street food, attracting a diverse range of visitors.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Bangkok is during the cool and dry season, from November to February. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Songkran, the Thai New Year, in April is a vibrant but very crowded time to visit.

Getting from the airport to Bangkok

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is connected to the city center by the Airport Rail Link, costing around 45 baht and taking about 30 minutes. Taxis are readily available, with fares to the city center ranging from 300 to 500 baht, including airport surcharge and tolls. Public buses are a cheaper option, but can be slower and more confusing for first-time visitors.

Things to do in Bangkok

Visit the Grand Palace, the former royal residence and a complex of stunning temples and buildings. Explore Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), located on the Chao Phraya River, known for its intricate design. Wander through Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the world's largest markets, with a wide array of goods. Take a longtail boat ride along the Chao Phraya River to see the city from a different perspective.

Food to try

Try Pad Thai, a stir-fried noodle dish, from street vendors for an authentic taste. Sample Mango Sticky Rice, a sweet and creamy dessert, available at most restaurants and markets. Explore the diverse flavors of Thai cuisine at local food courts, offering a variety of dishes at affordable prices.

Local tips

Bargaining is common in markets but not in department stores or malls. Dress respectfully when visiting temples, covering shoulders and knees. Be aware of scams targeting tourists, especially around major attractions.
