Cheap flights from New York (NYC) to Bangkok (BKK)

Direct flights from JFK airport in New York, to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), also known as Bangkok International Airport, in Thailand are available from several different airlines. The newly redesigned BKK is a destination within itself. Bangkok is the most populated city in Thailand, and recent growth resulted in modern high-rises being built next to ancient palaces. The eclectic mix of old and new venues make this a truly unique city to visit.

Key Facts

Tours and excursions can be booked directly through hotels, or guests can find information at the car rental hubs located in the airport. Just a short drive from the city center, visitors can take in a riverboat cruise at the Chao Phraya River. Landlubbers may prefer an invigorating hike or a walking tour through palaces, mansions and places of worship. The Butterfly Garden and Dusit Zoo are popular for nature lovers and families.

Hints and Tips

Travel between New York City and Bangkok should take about 20 hours. Visitors anxious to see the capital city can pick up their rental car, and head to the Grand Palace where the Bangkok government was established in 1782. The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute features cultural and religious practices still in use, and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn Monastery, is a famous structure that houses a gallery of ancient Bangkok artifacts.
