Flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok
In short
Several airlines fly nonstop from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, from Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) or Subang (SZB). Malaysia Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Thai Airways International and Thai VietJet Air land at Suvarnabhumi (BKK); AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia at Don Mueang (DMK). The 1,222 km flight takes about 2 hours. It is one of the busiest routes in Southeast Asia and a classic short break for people living in Malaysia.
KLIA Ekspres from KL Sentral to both terminals
KLIA is in Sepang, about 45 km south of the city, and handled about 63 million passengers in 2025. Malaysia Airlines flies from Terminal 1; AirAsia from Terminal 2, which opened in 2014 as klia2. The KLIA Ekspres from KL Sentral reaches the airport in about half an hour, so check which terminal your airline uses before boarding. Subang, closer to the city, is used by some Batik Air Malaysia flights.
Which airlines include a checked bag
Malaysia Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Thai Airways International include a checked bag. Thai VietJet Air, AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia are low-cost and charge for checked baggage.
SAT-1 gates and the Rail Link at Suvarnabhumi
Suvarnabhumi lies about 25 km east of central Bangkok and opened in 2006. The Airport Rail Link runs to Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes and meets the BTS Skytrain; Makkasan connects to the MRT Blue Line. Some gates are in the SAT-1 satellite building, linked to the main terminal by an underground train. Metered taxis and Grab wait outside arrivals.
Don Mueang lies north of the city and is the base of Thailand's low-cost airlines. 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.
Crossing Bangkok for the Dhaka flights
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. Kuala Lumpur also has its own flights: see Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka flights.
Clocks go back one hour on landing in Thailand.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Flights land at both Bangkok airports: several airlines at Suvarnabhumi, and AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Thai AirAsia at Don Mueang. 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. A number of 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.
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.
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.
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 back on landing in Thailand (Thailand is UTC+7). Neither side uses daylight saving, so the gap stays the same all year.
A passport that meets Thailand's entry rules for your nationality, plus the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, which every foreign visitor completes within 72 hours before landing. Check whether you need a visa on our Thailand visa page.
Yes; see Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka flights. Going via Bangkok is worth it if you want a few days in Thailand on the way home.
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.
