The following airlines operate regular services between Varanasi 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.

Expect a significant culture shift from the spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi to the energetic and cosmopolitan vibe of Bangkok.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Bangkok is during the cool and dry season, from November to March. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C, making it ideal for sightseeing. Avoid the monsoon season from June to October due to heavy rainfall and high humidity.
