Nakhon Si Thammarat to Bangkok flight guide
Flying from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Bangkok
In short
From Nakhon Si Thammarat you can fly to either Bangkok airport. Various airlines land at Don Mueang (DMK), and Thai VietJet Air lands at Suvarnabhumi (BKK). It is about 602 km in a straight line and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes in the air.
Let your onward plans decide. Don Mueang is nearer the north of the city and has the SRT Red Line across a footbridge, reaching Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in about 20 minutes. Suvarnabhumi suits anyone flying abroad the same day, because almost every international airline uses it, while Don Mueang mostly serves low-cost carriers. The Don Mueang guide and the Suvarnabhumi guide explain the rail links and taxi ranks.
Airport bus hours and evening taxis to Pak Phun
The airport is in Pak Phun, about 14 km north of the city centre, so allow 20 to 25 minutes by road. Airport buses leave the city from about 06:00 to 18:00, which suits daytime departures; for an evening flight, a taxi or a pre-booked car is safer. Departures run until about 21:00 and the terminal does not open overnight. Aim to arrive 90 minutes before your flight, because several Bangkok departures can leave close together from the one small terminal. Facilities are listed in our Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport guide.
All the airlines are low-cost, so plan your luggage before you reach the counter. Basic fares include a cabin bag only, and a checked bag costs more when you add it at the airport. Southern sweets and dried seafood make popular gifts, and they add weight quickly.
Coming back from the islands? Lomprayah's coach and boat service ends at the airport: the boat that leaves Koh Tao at 09:30 reaches NST at about 14:30. A late afternoon or evening flight leaves a safe margin.
For sightseeing before you leave, February to April is the driest time in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The November and December rains can delay flights at both ends.
Thai Airways and PBair opened the link in 1998
Commercial flights between Nakhon Si Thammarat and Bangkok began on 1 December 1998 with Thai Airways International and PBair. The airport sits 14 km from the city centre, so leave town with time to spare for the drive.
Nok Air's Nakhon Si Thammarat flights are suspended from 27 October until 20 December 2026, so for that period book Thai AirAsia or Thai Lion Air to Don Mueang, or Thai VietJet Air to Suvarnabhumi.
