Find cheap flights to Bangkok (BKK), Thailand

Travel Information About Bangkok

Holidays to Thailand have become increasingly popular with Brisitsh tourists, and in particular with backpackers, since it's relatively inexpensive once you are there. Bangkok is one Asia's major hubs and is a great starting point for your travels further afield. You can find direct flights to Bangkok from London and various carriers fly one-stop from Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow or Edinburgh. Check out SuperSearch to catch a deal. A direct flight to Bangkok from London will take around 11 hours.

So what is there to see and do once you step off the plane at Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi International airport (BKK)? Grab a taxi, or if you are more daring, a tuk tuk and whizz through the buzzing metropolis to explore the fantastic markets and shopping malls. Shopping in Bangkok is a real delight, and you can find some fantastic bargains, from electronics to bespoke suits and gems to designer clobber. For crafts and traditional products, we recommend Chatuchak Weekend Market. The variety on offer in Bangkok's shopping malls is extraordinary. From the well-established MBK to the new and ultra-modern CentralWorld shopping complex, there's something to suit every taste. Take some great pictures at the floating market -- which is total chaos -- the klongs, or canals, are filled with boats jostling for the best positions.

If retail therapy is not why you have jumped on a cheap flight to Bangkok and you're after something more cultured, you could visit any one of the many awe-inspiring temples Bangkok has to offer. Wat Phra Kaew (The Emerald Buddha) is regarded as one of the most important Buddhist temples in Thailand, and the Wat Pho is famous for its Reclining Buddha.

There is plenty to do in Bangkok in the evening. Of course, Bangkok's nightlife is famed for its go-go bars and ping-pong shows in the seedy Patpong area. Focus your time on the more upmarket Sukhumvit and you will find exclusive rooftop bars and fashionable clubs such as Bed Supperclub and Q Bar on Soi 11. If you enjoy Thai cuisine, we recommend treats from the streets -- the roadside stalls in Ratchaprasong offer plates of food from about 25 to 40 baht.

After booking your tickets to Bangkok, why not get a connecting flight to Pattaya or Koh Samui and experience the tropical beaches they have to offer. If you're a little more adventurous, head north and check out the hill tribes of Chiang Mai. However you decide to spend your time, we'll help you keep the flight price down with our easy-to-use SuperSearch tool.
