Flying from Luang Prabang to Bangkok
In short
Bangkok Airways and Thai AirAsia fly nonstop from Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ) in northern Laos to Bangkok, landing at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) respectively. The 706 km flight takes about 1 hour 25 minutes. It is the usual way out of northern Laos for travellers heading home, to the Thai islands or to long-haul connections.
A 10-minute ride from town to the single-runway airport
The airport is only about 4 km from the town centre, so a tuk-tuk or hotel van gets you there in 10 to 15 minutes. It has a single 2,500 m runway and is the hub of Lao Airlines, which flies to Vientiane, Hanoi and Chiang Mai and resumes its Bangkok service on 25 October 2026. The terminal is small, but leave enough time for immigration on busy mornings.
Bangkok Airways to Suvarnabhumi or Thai AirAsia to Don Mueang
Bangkok Airways includes a checked bag and lands at Suvarnabhumi, which suits same-day connections. Thai AirAsia is the low-cost option and lands at Don Mueang; add a checked bag when you book if you need one.
Suvarnabhumi into the city by rail, taxi or Grab
Suvarnabhumi is about 25 km east of central Bangkok and handled almost 63 million passengers in 2025. The Airport Rail Link runs to Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes and meets the BTS Skytrain there; Makkasan connects to the MRT Blue Line. Metered taxis and Grab wait outside arrivals.
Don Mueang, north of the city, opened in 1914 and is now the base of Thai AirAsia, Thai AirAsia X, Thai Lion Air and Nok Air. International flights use Terminal 1. The SRT Dark Red Line stops there, and bus A4 runs to Khaosan Road for 50 baht, which suits backpackers arriving from Laos.
Thai entry rules depend on nationality; see our Thailand visa page. Every foreign visitor completes the Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing.
Dhaka flights and no time change from Laos
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.
There is no time difference: Laos and Thailand both keep UTC+7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Flights land at both Bangkok airports: one airline at Suvarnabhumi, and Thai AirAsia at Don Mueang. Lao Airlines resumes 25 October 2026. Schedules change by season, so check the flights for your dates in the search above.
About 1 hour 25 minutes in the air. The two airports are 706 km apart in a straight line; actual times vary a little by airline, aircraft and wind.
Both. Bangkok Airways uses 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.
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.
About 4 km, 10 to 15 minutes by taxi or tuk-tuk.
General
There is no time difference: both run on UTC+7 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.
What's included
It depends on the airline. Thai AirAsia 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.
Cancellations & changes
Lao Airlines resumes 25 October 2026. Airlines publish these changes in advance, but dates can move, so check the schedule before you book.
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 AirAsia, meals are bought online or on board; check the menu for halal options.
