The cheapest time to fly is usually May-June and September-October, during the rainy season when showers are short and visitors are fewer.
Fares peak from November-February and in July-August, so late October is a good-value pick as the rains ease.
Book 3-6 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for November to February. Prices generally rise closer to departure.

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, in the centre of the country on the Chao Phraya river. Known for its temples, street food, markets and nightlife, it is also a popular base for trips to beaches and islands across Southeast Asia.
Fly into Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), which handles nearly all international flights to Bangkok. Most itineraries from the US connect through an Asian hub such as Seoul, Tokyo or Hong Kong, so compare layover lengths as well as price. Don Mueang (DMK) mainly serves regional and domestic routes, so it is only useful if you are connecting onward within Asia.
Trusted for 250,000+ flights
