Flying from Guangzhou to Bangkok
In short
A number of airlines fly nonstop from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) to Bangkok. Six land at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Thai AirAsia at Don Mueang (DMK). The 1,705 km flight takes about 2 hours 40 minutes. Holidaymakers from southern China, traders and travellers connecting on to South Asia all use it, which keeps the route busy all year.
Metro Line 3 to Baiyun and the terminal changes
Baiyun is one of China's busiest airports, with 83.6 million passengers in 2025. It lies about 28 km north of downtown Guangzhou, and Metro Line 3 links the terminals with Tiyu Xilu and Tianhe in about 45 minutes. Terminal 1 closed for renovation on 7 May 2026, so departures now leave from Terminal 2, China Southern's hub, or from Terminal 3, which opened in October 2025. Check the terminal on your booking before you set out.
Guangzhou-based carriers and low-cost options
China Southern Airlines and 9 Air are both based at Guangzhou. China Eastern Airlines, Thai Airways International and Kenya Airways, which flies between Guangzhou and Nairobi with a stop in Bangkok, complete the full-service list. 9 Air, Spring Airlines and Thai AirAsia are low-cost carriers whose basic fares include only a cabin bag, so add checked baggage when you book if you are carrying goods.
Suvarnabhumi rail links into the city
At Suvarnabhumi, about 25 km east of the centre, the Airport Rail Link runs to Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes and meets the BTS Skytrain. Makkasan station connects to the MRT Blue Line. The airport opened in 2006, has three parallel runways and handled almost 63 million passengers in 2025, so queues at immigration can be long at peak times. Metered taxis and Grab wait outside arrivals.
Don Mueang, Bangkok's first airport, sits north of the city. International flights use Terminal 1. The SRT Dark Red Line stops there, and bus A3 runs to Pratunam, Ratchaprasong and Lumpini Park for 50 baht.
Thai entry rules depend on nationality; see our Thailand visa page. Every foreign visitor fills in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing.
Onward to Dhaka via Bangkok or direct
The Dhaka flights on Biman, US-Bangla and Thai Airways leave from Suvarnabhumi (see Bangkok to Dhaka flights). If you land at Don Mueang, allow time to cross the city and check in again. Guangzhou also has its own flights to Dhaka: see Guangzhou to Dhaka flights. Going via Bangkok pays off when you want a few days in Thailand.
Clocks go back one hour on landing in Thailand (UTC+7). Neither country uses daylight saving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Flights land at both Bangkok airports: several airlines at Suvarnabhumi, and Thai AirAsia at Don Mueang. Schedules change by season, so check the flights for your dates in the search above.
About 2 hours 40 minutes in the air. The two airports are 1,705 km apart in a straight line; actual times vary a little by airline, aircraft and wind.
Both. Several airlines use Suvarnabhumi (BKK); Thai AirAsia uses Don Mueang (DMK). The airports are on opposite sides of the city, so check the code on your ticket.
Suvarnabhumi lies about 25 km east of central Bangkok. The Airport Rail Link runs to Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes and meets the BTS Skytrain there; Makkasan station connects to the MRT Blue Line. Metered taxis and Grab wait outside arrivals. Don Mueang is north of the city. The SRT Dark Red Line stops at the airport and runs to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal (Bang Sue), where it meets the MRT Blue Line; airport buses and metered taxis cover the rest of the city.
Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. Terminal 1 closed for renovation on 7 May 2026, so check the terminal printed on your booking.
Yes. Biman, US-Bangla and Thai Airways fly Bangkok to Dhaka from Suvarnabhumi. If you land at Don Mueang, allow at least four hours to transfer by road and check in again. On separate tickets you clear Thai immigration and collect your bag, so you need a Thai visa. See Bangkok to Dhaka flights.
Metro Line 3 connects the airport terminals with the city centre. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are also easy to find.
General
The clock moves one hour back on landing in Thailand (Thailand is UTC+7). Neither side uses daylight saving, so the gap stays the same all year.
Yes; see Guangzhou to Dhaka flights. Going via Bangkok is worth it if you want a few days in Thailand on the way home.
Yes. Guangzhou hosts the Canton Fair each spring and autumn, and flights and hotels fill up around those dates, so book early.
What's included
It depends on the airline. 9 Air, Spring Airlines 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 9 Air, Spring Airlines and Thai AirAsia, meals are bought online or on board; check the menu for halal options.
