Book flights from Saint Petersburg to Bangkok with Qatar Airways

Book a flight to Bangkok with Qatar Airways and you’ll arrive at one of the world’s most exciting and popular destinations.

Not only a beloved destination by the adventurous travellers and ‘backpackers,’ but it’s also a wonderful destination for the more discerning, luxury travellers.

Whether you’re looking for ancient temples, bustling markets, lively nightlife or absolute luxury, you’ll find it in Bangkok.

Tourist attractions

Many of the city’s best known sights can be found in the historic centre within the Rattanakosin district.

The most spectacular attraction is the Grand Palace, which was once home to the King of Thailand and today offers visitors a rich mixture of history and architectural splendour.

Within the palace grounds you’ll also discover Thailand’s holiest temple, Wat Phra Kaew.  Other highlights in Rattanakosin include the large reclining Buddha statue at Wat Pho and the Thai-European fusion of Wat Ratchabophit.

Other popular districts worth exploring during your trip to Bangkok include Siam Square for sheer high-end luxury shopping, and Silom for its bustling entertainment venues.

For a very different perspective on the city and a more relaxing way to see the sights, go for a cruise down the Phraya River.

In 2014 a new terminal opened, increasing the airport’s capacity and providing new facilities, particularly for business travellers. 

Transportation and parking

Transport to and from the airport into the centre of St. Petersburg is well served by a network of public transport and taxis. City buses number 39, 39A and minibus K39 run from the airport to the Moskovskaya metro station, where passengers can connect to Metro line 2 running to and from the city centre.

The K39 minibus also stops at the Aeroport commuter rail station, where passengers can take a train to Saint Petersburg's Baltiysky Station. Taxis are plentiful and prices are fixed depending on the zone you are travelling from. The journey from the city centre to the airport can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the time of day you travel.

Peak time traffic can be terrible, so allow yourself extra time if you are travelling during the morning and evening rush hours.
