How to reach Thailand
|
|
By Air |
Bangkok is Thailand’s major gateway. Most visitors arrive at
Suvarnabhumi Airport because it is directly connected to Europe, Asia,
North America and Australia by daily flights aboard the world’s major
airlines. Further international flights, mainly from Singapore, Malaysia
and Hong Kong, land at Phuket and Hat Yai International Airports in the
south and Chiang Mai in the North.

By Road |
From Malaysia: It is possible to enter Thailand through a number of
crossings in Songkhla, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces.
From Lao P.D.R.: it is possible to enter Thailand through Nong Khai,
Chiang Saen, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan and Chong Mek.
From Cambodia: it is possible to enter Thailand through Aranyaprathet in
Sa Kaeo province and Ko Kong in Trat province.
From Myanmar: you can enter Thailand through Mae Sai and Mae Sot.

By Rail |
There are no regular steamship connections to Thailand. Cargo ships
calling at Bangkok’s Khlong Toei Port sometimes have passenger cabin
facilities. Cruise Ships call at Laem Chabang Port (roughly 2 hours
south of Bangkok) from Vietnam and Singapore. Contact a travel agent for
details.

By Sea |
There are no regular steamship connections to Thailand, though cargo
ships calling at Bangkok’s Khlong Toei Port may occasionally have
passenger facilities. Cruise liners make Thailand a port of call, and
can berth at one of two modern deep-sea ports, Laem Chabang between
Bangkok and Pattaya, and the island resort of Phuket. Both can
accommodate liners of 20,000 tons or more, while the Khlong Toei is more
suitable for smaller vessels with a gross tonnage of between 12,000 and
16,000.
