Fewer connections, less airport drama, and a much smoother way to reach Southeast Asia
Polish flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines has officially announced a new non-stop route between Warsaw and Bangkok, and this time it actually makes a lot of sense.

This new route strengthens Warsaw’s role as a convenient gateway to Asia, especially for travelers from Central and Eastern Europe.

- Premium Economy – from €1,100–1,300
- Business Class – from €2,000–2,500

The cheapest fares usually include:

🌏 Why Bangkok Is More Than Just a Destination
Bangkok isn’t only about temples, street food, rooftop bars, and traffic that never sleeps.
It’s also Thailand’s main aviation hub and one of the key gateways to Southeast Asia.
From Bangkok, you can easily fly to:
- Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai
- Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore
- Indonesia or the Philippines
In other words, Bangkok works perfectly as a launch pad for multi-country trips across Southeast Asia – not just a final stop.
✈️ A Few Words About LOT Polish Airlines
LOT Polish Airlines doesn’t try to impress with over-the-top luxury – and that’s actually a good thing.
LOT is a member of Star Alliance, which means reliable connections and frequent-flyer benefits.
Long-haul flights are operated with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner:
- quiet cabin
- decent legroom
- modern in-flight entertainment
It’s not flying-palace luxury, but it’s solid, predictable European long-haul comfort.
🧾 Where to Buy Tickets
- directly on LOT’s official website
- via flight aggregators like kiwi.com to compare dates and prices
🛂 Visa Information
For Ukrainian citizens, Thailand is visa-free.
Arrive, get stamped, and head straight for pad thai and iced coffee.
Final Thoughts
Direct flights from Warsaw to Bangkok with LOT mean:
- fewer connections
- competitive prices
- a convenient gateway to Thailand and Southeast Asia
And Bangkok, as always, has a habit of turning short trips into much longer adventures
Useful Resources for Planning a Trip to Thailand:
- Flights: Find, book, and buy plane tickets to Thailand on the Aviasales website, which is more reliable than Skyscanner — I’ve checked. Use useful filters to find flights at the optimal price and airline, pay attention to layovers and arrival times.
- Hotels or Hostels: Use Booking.com or Agoda to search for accommodation, apply filters, and use the map search function to understand where the accommodation is located. Booking offers many options without prepayment and the possibility of free cancellation. Agoda specializes in Asia, with a slightly larger selection of budget hostels and small guesthouses.
- Travel Insurance: Many people hesitate or try to save money by not buying insurance. I recommend buying it; it’s not expensive, and in case of any issues, you won’t have problems with the clinic that provides assistance, and you’ll save a decent amount of money. Medical care in Thailand is excellent but expensive. In our 7 trips to this country, we used insurance only once, saving several hundred dollars plus the comfort of receiving assistance.
- Car Rental: Driving in Thailand is as easy as in Europe. The only difference is left-hand traffic, and it will take no more than 15 minutes to get used to driving on the right side. Rent a car on LocalRent-Thailand; they offer excellent conditions and fair prices, tested.
- Transportation in Thailand: Getting around with transportation in this country is very easy and straightforward—buses, ferries, trains, budget airlines. Buy tickets for all this in one place on the 12Go website.
- Internet and Mobile Communication: You can buy a local SIM card right at the airport. A more convenient option is to buy an eSIM from Airalo. You can download their app and be in touch immediately after the plane’s engines stop. You don’t need to buy a physical SIM card.
- Sightseeing Tour: There are attractions for which it is easier and cheaper to buy an organized tour; for this, there is the GetYourGuide platform. At least, check what tours are available from the place where you are staying.
