Fly to Bangkok

On flights to Bangkok from Dammam, you will be arriving in one of the most cosmopolitan, contrasting and, above all, compelling of Asian cities. 'The City of Angels' and 'The Land of Smiles' are not just tourism marketing clichés for Bangkok and Thailand. Thais really are among the most thoughtful and friendly people on the planet, evident in the warm greeting that welcomes you wherever you go.

This is why it comes as a shock to many visitors that such a chaotic, traffic-choked city as Bangkok could be home to such serene, sweet-natured people. The 'City of Contradictions' would be a more apt name; but it's the complex nature of Bangkok that makes it so compelling, along with fabulous shopping, fine hotels, superb spas, and fantastic food.












Plan your itinerary well before taking flights to Bangkok from Dammam as there is much to do. Experience those things – tuk-tuk rides, the shows, Muay Thai (kickboxing) matches, Thai massage - that everyone comes home talking about.

Cultural phenomenon, shopping heaven and tourist treasure, Bangkok is a steamy, pulsating, yet smiling metropolis of more than 10 million. Find your niche among dazzling temples, hotels of every breed and size, eclectic markets, gleaming palaces, ritzy shopping malls, a famous nightlife and the many things in between.

A dinner cruise adrift the Chao Phraya River is a must for those arriving on flights to Bangkok from Dammam. The river snakes through Bangkok, with the city centre lying to the east of the artery.

Bask in the city’s warm, affluent glow at a skyscraping rooftop bar. Shop for traditional handicrafts and chic clothes at shopping malls and the sprawling JJ Markets. Gape at colossal gold Buddhas and glittering chedi (Buddhist shrines) at Bangkok's magnificent wats (temple complexes).
