Best Airlines and Routes from Milan (MXP) to Thailand

Direct Flights vs Connecting Flights
Direct Flights
Direct flights from Milan to Bangkok are sometimes operated by airlines like Thai Airways. While convenient, these flights are often the most expensive option available.

The Best Time to Fly from Milan for Budget Travelers
Flight prices between Europe and Thailand vary dramatically depending on the season. Choosing the right travel dates can save hundreds of euros.
The Cool Season (November to February)
This is Thailand’s peak tourist season. Temperatures range from 20°C to 32°C with lower humidity, making it ideal for sightseeing and beach trips.
However, because demand from European travelers is extremely high during winter holidays, flights and hotels become significantly more expensive.
If you plan to travel during Christmas or New Year, it is recommended to book flights several months in advance. Read our guide on How Far in Advance to Book Flights to Thailand.
The Rainy Season (June to October)
The monsoon season often offers the cheapest flights from Europe. While short rain showers are common, it rarely rains continuously throughout the day.
Accommodation prices may drop by 40% to 60% compared with peak season rates.

2026 Entry Requirements for Italian Citizens
Italian travelers should understand the latest immigration requirements before flying to Thailand.
Visa Exemption and ETA
Italian citizens currently receive a 60-day visa exemption when entering Thailand.

Learn more in the full guide to the Thailand ETA Application.
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)
All travelers must submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival. This replaces the paper arrival form previously completed on the airplane.
Expert Tips to Save Money on Flights
- Be flexible with travel dates. Flights departing Tuesday or Wednesday are often cheaper.
- Use price comparison tools. Platforms like Skyscanner allow you to find the cheapest travel dates quickly.
- Mix airline tickets. Sometimes booking two one-way flights is cheaper than a round-trip ticket. Learn more in One Way vs Round Trip to Thailand.
- Track prices in advance. Monitor fares several months before departure.
Travel Costs and Budgeting for Your Trip
Once you arrive in Thailand, the cost of travel is relatively low compared with Europe.
Budget travelers can comfortably explore the country on approximately $30–$50 per day by staying in hostels and eating street food.
Mid-range travelers staying in comfortable hotels may spend around $80–$150 per day.
