Skyteam members Air France and KLM bring you an attractive fare for flights from Amsterdam to Bangkok. Business class roundtrips start at €1,330 with a stop in Paris both ways. Adding a KLM’s nonstop flight either way adds approx. €300. This fare seems to be exclusively available for May 2020 departures.
Air France sends a mixture of Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350 from Paris to Bangkok. You can expect a 2-2-2 seating pattern in the former and a less dense 1-2-1 in the latter’s premium cabin.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, these tickets are available until December 22, 2019 or until sold out. They are valid for journeys between December 28, 2019 and June 1, 2020. A minimum stay of six days or at least one night from saturday to sunday applies as well as a maximum stay of one month.
Google Flights indicates availability for only three possible departure dates in May 2020. However, if you search directly via Air France or KLM, you will find a much wider array of travel dates. We recommend searching and booking directly with one of the airlines in this case.

Information & Tips for Thailand
Thailand is an increasingly popular holiday destination for Europeans – both beach and party tourists get their money’s worth in the South Asian tropical state.
Whether Bangkok, Koh Samui or Phuket, Thailand offers multi-faceted cities and quiet beaches. Also, the country is always easy to reach from Europe. Especially to Bangkok, there is almost always at least a good deal!
Best Time to Visit
While hot summer temperatures prevail the whole year long in tropical Thailand, the best travel time is definitely the winter from November to February. Thanks to the northwest monsoon it doesn’t get warmer than 33 degrees. In summer the temperatures can quickly reach 40 degrees. The rainy season also starts in June and will last until October – high humidity is what you’ll have to prepare for!
Entry & Visa
Most EU citizens do not need a visa for stays up to a length of 30 days. The entry permit can be extended by another 30 days before expiration by local immigration authorities.
Currency
The national currency of Thailand is the Baht (THB) which is divided into Satang. One Euro is about 40 THB.
