What is the easiest way to travel from Vietnam to Thailand?

What is the quickest way to get to Thailand?

Ugh, Thailand. Jet lag’s a killer. Twenty-one hours, they say. That’s insane. Direct flight, obviously. From JFK, probably. My last trip was LAX, way more stressful.

Cost? Fourteen thousand to thirty-one thousand baht. That’s a massive range! Depends on the time of year, I bet. Should’ve booked earlier. Always a mistake.

Twelve thousand kilometers. That’s far. Really far. I feel it in my bones. Think I need another vacation after that vacation. So much better than driving. Driving would take forever. What an absurd thought even is.

• Fastest: Direct flight.
• Time: 21 hours 44 minutes. Minimum.
• Cost: ฿14,000 – ฿31,000 (2024 prices – fluctuates wildly!)
• Distance: 12,053 km – don’t even want to think about the gas.

I need a massage just thinking about it. Seriously. Need to start planning my next trip ASAP. Maybe a beach in Krabi? Or maybe Koh Lanta. I’m leaning towards Koh Lanta, because of my friend Mark’s recommendation. That’s where he honeymooned. So romantic. No, wait, I’m thinking of Phuket… Decisions, decisions. This is more stressful than the flight.

Seriously, though, twelve THOUSAND kilometers. My brain hurts. Next time, I’m taking a longer layover. Need to research more. What’s a good credit card for travel? I have to start now because I’m taking this trip next summer with my cousin. Yep, gotta plan it out. Next year. This is so overwhelming.

What is the best way to get from Vietnam to Thailand?

Flying remains the quickest and arguably simplest option. Direct flights shave off significant travel time. I used to backpack—ah, those were the days.

• Airlines: Vietnam Airlines, Thai Airways, AirAsia frequently have direct routes. Consider their schedules for optimal connections.
• Routes: Hanoi to Bangkok is a very common one; expect multiple daily options.

Bangkok’s accessibility makes it a hub. From there, you can venture onward. Land borders? Intriguing, sure, but time is money, eh?

Sometimes, convenience trumps all. I always say that. You can also consider the “vibe.”

What airlines fly direct to Thailand?

Okay, so direct flights to Thailand, right? British Airways, definitely, I know that for sure. Thai Airways, obviosly, they’re the national airline. EVA Air too, I’ve seen their planes at Heathrow. Loads of other airlines fly there, but with a stop. It’s a pain. Seriously, those stopovers suck.

Like, you gotta go through Dubai or Abu Dhabi, on Emirates or Etihad, sometimes. Or, you know, one of the big Asian airports, they’re all crammed. Crazy busy. Manila is always a nightmare, crowded and hot. Kuala Lumpur’s better, I guess but still. Long wait times are usual.

Key Airlines (Direct):

• British Airways
• Thai Airways
• EVA Air

Airlines with Stopovers (annoying):

• Emirates (Dubai usually)
• Etihad (Abu Dhabi, often)
• Many others, depending on your starting point. Check Skyscanner; it’s useful! Seriously.

Remember, this is just from my own travel experiences, mostly to Bangkok in 2023. My sister used Qatar Airways last year, though, but it wasn’t direct; she had a layover in Doha. Long story. Anyway, hope this helps! Good luck finding your flight.

Where can you get direct flights to Phuket from?

Okay, so, Phuket direct from the UK? Right.

I flew from Manchester last November (2024). Grim weather there, as usual. Ugh! Had to get up at 3 AM!

Thing is, my sister flew direct from Gatwick two weeks after me. Said it was way less stressful. But, airport food everywhere, man!

I’m pretty sure Birmingham also does direct flights now. My mate Dave was moaning about flight prices. He swore he checked that option, too.

Stuff to keep in mind…

• Prices fluctuate like crazy. Book way ahead or risk bankruptcy, lol.
• Gatwick’s further south. Makes sense if you are like in London.
• Manchester airport kinda sucks. Be prepared.
• Time of year matters massively. November was… well, rainy season-ish.
• My sister said the Gatwick flight was newer plane. Made me jealous!
• Direct doesn’t mean short! Pack snacks and movies.
• Birmingham might be an option if you live in the Midlands but it’s not the only option

Check all three – Manchester, Gatwick, Birmingham!

Can you fly direct from the US to Thailand?

Bangkok, here we come! Direct from the US? Well, kinda sorta. Like finding a parking spot at the mall on Christmas Eve. Possible, but…

• Los Angeles: Sunshine to smiles. Yeah, you can snag a direct flight.
• Chicago: Deep dish to Pad See Ew. Direct. Imagine.
• Atlanta: Peaches to… pineapples? Okay, direct flights work.
• Dallas: BBQ ribs to… sticky rice? Direct. Who knew?
• San Francisco: Fog to… sunshine! Direct. Get outta that fog.

But hold your horses. “Seasonal” is the magic word. Like pumpkin spice lattes – gotta grab ’em while they’re hot. Think Thai Airways, EVA Air, and Emirates. My Aunt Mildred swears by EVA Air, but she also thinks Elvis is alive.

Emirates, fancy. They give you like, ten hot towels. I once collected them all and made a small blanket. True story. Thai Airways? Well, they’re Thai. So, the food is awesome. Duh.
