Flying from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur
In short
A number of airlines fly nonstop from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Thai Airways International and Thai VietJet Air leave from Suvarnabhumi (BKK); AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia from Don Mueang (DMK). The 1,222 km flight takes about 2 hours. In Kuala Lumpur, flights use Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) or Subang (SZB), so check the airport on your ticket.
Malaysia Airlines, Thai and four low-cost carriers
Malaysia Airlines, whose hub is KLIA, and Thai Airways International include a checked bag and a meal. Royal Jordanian also sells seats between the two cities. Thai VietJet Air, AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia price the seat alone. Batik Air Malaysia is also based at KLIA, and some of its flights use Subang, much closer to the city.
Opposite sides of Bangkok: Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang
Suvarnabhumi lies about 25 km east of the centre on the Airport Rail Link. Don Mueang, in the north, is on the SRT Dark Red Line and city buses A1 to A4. The airports are on opposite sides of Bangkok.
KLIA Terminal 1 for Malaysia Airlines, Terminal 2 for AirAsia
Kuala Lumpur International Airport is in Sepang district, Selangor, about 45 km south of the city, and it opened in June 1998. It handled about 63 million passengers in 2025. Malaysia Airlines uses Terminal 1. AirAsia is based at Terminal 2, the former klia2, which opened in May 2014. The KLIA Ekspres train reaches KL Sentral in about half an hour.
Subang (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport) is much nearer central Kuala Lumpur, which suits business travellers heading for the west of the city.
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card and passport rules
Malaysia's entry rules depend on your passport, and every visitor completes the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card before landing. Check our Malaysia visa page before booking.
Four-hour rule for a Don Mueang connection from Dhaka
Biman, US-Bangla and Thai Airways land at Suvarnabhumi from Dhaka (see Dhaka to Bangkok flights), where four of the Kuala Lumpur airlines leave. A Don Mueang connection needs at least four hours. Dhaka also has its own flights: see Dhaka to Kuala Lumpur flights.
Malaysia is one hour ahead of Thailand all year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
From Suvarnabhumi, several airlines fly the route; from Don Mueang, Bangkok's low-cost airport, it is AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia. Schedules change by season, so check the flights for your dates in the search above.
About 2 hours in the air. The two airports are 1,222 km apart in a straight line; actual times vary a little by airline, aircraft and wind.
Both. Several airlines use Suvarnabhumi (BKK); three use Don Mueang (DMK). The airports are on opposite sides of the city, so check the code on your ticket.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport is in Sepang, about 45 km south of the city. Malaysia Airlines uses Terminal 1 and AirAsia Terminal 2; the KLIA Ekspres train reaches KL Sentral in about half an hour. Batik Air Malaysia also flies to Subang (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport), much closer to the city.
Yes, Kuala Lumpur also has its own flights from Dhaka; see Dhaka to Kuala Lumpur flights. Flying via Bangkok makes sense when you want a stopover in Thailand on the way.
Most flights use Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA): Terminal 1 for Malaysia Airlines and Terminal 2 for AirAsia. Batik Air Malaysia also flies from Don Mueang to Subang, the older airport closer to the city. Your ticket shows KUL or SZB.
General
The clock moves one hour forward from Thai time (Thailand is UTC+7). Neither side uses daylight saving, so the gap stays the same all year.
Yes. Fly Dhaka to Bangkok on Biman, US-Bangla or Thai Airways, all of which land at Suvarnabhumi, then take one of the Kuala Lumpur flights. Booking both legs on one Thai Airways ticket, where available, keeps you airside with your bag checked through. Two separate tickets mean clearing Thai immigration, which needs a Thai visa.
A passport that meets Malaysia's entry rules for your nationality, and the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card, which every visitor completes before landing. See our Malaysia visa page.
What's included
It depends on the airline. Thai VietJet Air, AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia are low-cost carriers whose basic fares include only a cabin bag, so add checked baggage when you book. The full-service airlines normally include a checked bag; the allowance is shown on your booking.
Stay & facilities
On the full-service airlines, request a Muslim (halal) meal when you book or at least 24 hours before departure through the airline's manage-booking page. On Thai VietJet Air, AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia, meals are bought online or on board; check the menu for halal options.
