Traveling to Bangkok by train is not an option if you are coming internationally as Thailand is not connected by rail networks to other countries, except for Malaysia. However, once in Thailand, Hua Lamphong Railway Station in Bangkok serves as the main terminal for domestic train journeys.
The primary airport in Bangkok is Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), which is one of the busiest in Southeast Asia. The city also has a secondary airport, Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), which mainly serves low-cost carriers and domestic flights.
Regarding international travel by road, entering Bangkok from other countries involves passing through neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Cambodia, or Laos. It requires understanding the visa and border crossing requirements.
Flight: Flying is the most feasible and the recommended mode of transportation from India's top cities to Bangkok. The following airports in India provide direct flights to Bangkok:
By Road: It is not practical to drive from India directly to Bangkok due to the great distances, country borders and the Bay of Bengal in between. However, there is an India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway project which, once completed, is expected to provide a direct motor route to Thailand from India.
Route by Road: There is no direct route available by road from India to Bangkok. The proposed India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway is not fully operational yet.
