Guangzhou to Phuket flight guide
Flying from Guangzhou to Phuket
In short
China Southern Airlines and Spring Airlines fly nonstop from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) to Phuket International Airport (HKT), Thailand's main beach island. The 2,332 km flight takes about 3 hours 25 minutes, and it is one of the main ways travellers from southern China reach the Andaman coast.
Guangzhou-based China Southern or Spring Airlines
China Southern, based in Guangzhou, is a full-service airline and normally includes a checked bag and a meal. Spring Airlines sells the seat on its own, charging for bags, meals and seat selection. The low-cost fare is good value for light packers; families with suitcases should compare totals.
Phuket's links with southern China are expanding. Spring Airlines opened a Shenzhen to Phuket route on 29 April 2026, going from three flights a week to daily between 29 September and 8 October, over the National Day holiday. Fares from Guangzhou rise sharply at the same times.
Metro Line 3 to Baiyun and check-in timing
Metro Line 3 links the city with Baiyun's terminals in about 45 minutes from Tiyu Xilu and Tianhe. For an international flight, arrive about three hours before departure.
Phuket arrival card and the 60-day exemption's end
Entry rules for Thailand depend on your nationality, and every foreign visitor completes the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online within 72 hours before landing; our Thailand visa page has the details. Thailand replaced its 60-day visa exemption on 15 September 2026 with a 30-day stay for passports from 60 countries and territories.
The airport is at the northern tip of the island, so beach hotels are a fair drive. According to AOT, the Airport Bus Express to Patong Beach runs from 08:00 to 20:00, and the hourly airport bus to Phuket Town runs from 08:15 to 20:15, both from the arrivals exit. The Phuket Smart Bus leaves from the domestic terminal and runs south along the west coast through Kamala, Karon and Kata to Rawai. Public minivans also go to Patong, Karon and Kata. A taxi takes about an hour to Patong or Kata, more in traffic, and car rental counters are on the first floor.
Back an hour and on to Bangkok
Set your watch back one hour on landing (China is UTC+8, Thailand UTC+7). For onward trips, domestic flights link Phuket with Bangkok, where you can connect across Asia, for example to South Asia from Suvarnabhumi (see Bangkok to Dhaka flights). Guangzhou also has direct flights of its own; see Guangzhou to Dhaka flights.

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.
Fly to Bangkok and connect there. If your domestic flight lands at Don Mueang and you leave from Suvarnabhumi, allow time to cross the city.
Yes; see Guangzhou to Dhaka flights. Going via Phuket 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. Spring Airlines is a low-cost carrier 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.
Visa & documents
It depends on your nationality. Check our Thailand visa page and the Thai immigration website, and complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing.
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 Spring Airlines, meals are bought online or on board; check the menu for halal options.
