LOT Polish Airlines Launches Direct Warsaw-Bangkok Route
The Tourism Authority of Thailand has welcomed the inaugural flight of LOT Polish Airlines, establishing a new direct connection between Warsaw and Bangkok to boost European tourism.
According to Khaosod Online, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has officially welcomed the inaugural flight of LOT Polish Airlines, the national carrier of Poland, marking the start of a new direct route between Warsaw and Bangkok. The service commenced on October 7, 2026, just in time for the year-end peak travel season.
The inaugural flight, LO65, departed Warsaw on October 7 at 3:45 PM local time and arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on October 8 at 7:05 AM, with a flight duration of approximately 10 hours and 20 minutes. This new connection is intended to increase seat capacity from Central Europe to Thailand, facilitating easier travel for tourists.
For travelers and residents, this development signifies improved connectivity between Poland and Thailand, potentially leading to an increase in European visitors. The TAT is currently collaborating with Polish tourism partners and organizing 'Fam Trips' to promote the route and encourage high-spending, long-stay tourists to explore various destinations across the country. While the route is now operational, the long-term frequency of these flights and the specific impact on tourism numbers remain to be confirmed as the partnership progresses.
