Who flies Seoul to Bangkok today?
Korean holidaymakers, though fewer than a year earlier. Thailand's Ministry of Tourism and Sports counted 1,555,227 arrivals from South Korea in 2025, down 16.79%. Korea still ranked fifth among all source markets, in a year of 32,974,321 foreign arrivals (The Nation, January 2, 2026).
Both countries rank high for crypto use: South Korea 5th and Thailand 8th in the 2026 Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index. Korean cards add costs on foreign purchases. A Hana Card launched in August 2026 charges 1.1% to the card brand plus a 0.2% overseas service fee. SatFares prices the fare in US dollars, paid from a crypto balance. Pay in stablecoins; local tax and exchange rules still apply.
Which airlines fly from Incheon to Suvarnabhumi?
Airlines observed in our market fare survey of October 12, 2026 include Jeju Air, Scoot, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, HK Express, Eastar Jet, Trinity Airways, Thai Vietjet Air, Thai Airways, Asiana Airlines, Korean Air. For a departure on November 11, seven airlines flew non-stop. Thai Airways had three flights (TG 653, TG 657 and TG 659), on Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft. Asiana had two, one of them OZ 741 on an Airbus A380, and Korean Air had four.
Four low-cost airlines also flew non-stop, with one flight each, including Jeju Air, Eastar Jet and Thai Vietjet Air. That day, the lowest market fare observed was a Jeju Air non-stop flight.
Four connections were observed. Scoot sold TR 843 to Singapore, then TR 608 to Bangkok the next morning. Hong Kong Express connected through Hong Kong, China Southern through Shenzhen and China Eastern through Shanghai. Only sanctioned airlines are left out of the survey. Survey figures are market fares, not our selling price, and the live total may differ.
How long does Seoul to Bangkok take?
About six hours non-stop, for 3,669 km. In our survey, Thai Airways took 5 h 55 min. Asiana took 5 h 55 min to 6 h 05 min, and Korean Air 6 h 00 min to 6 h 10 min. The low-cost non-stop flights took 6 h 10 min to 6 h 20 min. Bangkok is 2 hours behind Seoul, so KE 659 leaves Incheon at 20:15 and lands at 00:20.
The connections through Shanghai and Hong Kong took 8 h 15 min and 8 h 35 min. The Scoot itinerary took 22 h 45 min, with 13 h 25 min in Singapore overnight. Travellers who stay in the transit area there do not need the SG Arrival Card. Anyone who clears Singapore immigration must submit it within 3 days before arrival (ICA).
What checked baggage do Seoul to Bangkok fares include?
On Thai Airways, it depends on the fare type. Thai Airways moved from a weight rule to a piece rule for travel from March 2, 2026, including journeys within Asia. In Economy, Saver and Standard fares include 1 piece of 23 kg. Flex and Full Flex fares include 2 pieces of 23 kg each.
Asiana includes one 23 kg bag in Economy on routes outside the Americas. For Korean Air, Scoot and the other airlines, baggage and fare rules (changes, refunds) are confirmed with your booking and shown on your e-ticket.
What are Thailand's entry rules for Korean citizens in 2026?
Korean passport holders can stay up to 90 days without a visa, under a bilateral agreement. Thailand's foreign ministry lists Korea in its 90-day group in the 2026 revision of its visa exemption schemes.
On September 15, 2026, Thailand cut its general visa exemption from 60 to 30 days, for 60 countries and territories. South Korea is not on that list. The Korean embassy in Thailand said the 1981 agreement remains in force and takes precedence, as reported by Financial News on September 2, 2026.
Every non-Thai traveller must also file the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online. Rules depend on your passport, so check them with the Royal Thai Embassy before you fly. We do not give visa advice.
What happens if the airline cancels my Bangkok flight?
You choose between money back and a balance credit. With SatFares, an airline cancellation gives you a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. A ticket that can't be issued in time costs nothing: the held amount goes back to your available balance.
The airline's own duties come from its conditions of carriage. EU Regulation 261/2004 applies to flights from the EU, or into it on an EU airline. The US DOT refund rule applies to flights to, from or within the United States. Neither covers Incheon to Bangkok. If you cancel, the fare rules set the refund, credited to your balance. Your flight booking will be bound by the fare rules and Conditions of Carriage of the airline(s).
How do I pay for a Seoul to Bangkok ticket in crypto?
Fund a balance first, then book from it. The smallest top-up is $25, in Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). Send USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Coins sent on another network may be lost.
At checkout, give each traveller's names exactly as in the passport, date of birth, gender, passport details and an email address. We pass this data to the airline only. The total is the fare found live for all passengers, in US dollars, taxes included, with no fee added; the final total is confirmed before you are charged. Our fee: none (no booking fee or payment fee is added). Paying in crypto may be a taxable event in your country.
Held, not charged
Your balance is held at checkout
The exact total shown is held on your balance. Nothing is charged yet.
We book the ticket for you
Bookings are made on request: our team books the ticket with the airline and confirms the final total. If it is higher than the amount held, you accept the new total or the amount is released.
Charged only when the e-ticket number is issued
Your balance is charged when the airline issues the e-ticket number. If we can't get the ticket issued in time, the full amount is released to your balance.
If the total changes before the ticket is issued, you see the new total and choose: accept it, or have the amount released. Nothing extra is ever taken without your agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need anything for Singapore on the Scoot connection?
It depends on whether you leave the airport during the overnight stop. Singapore's ICA says travellers who transit without clearing immigration do not submit the SG Arrival Card. If you go through immigration, you must submit it within 3 days before arrival, and Singapore's entry rules for your passport apply. Check them on the ICA website.
When should I fill in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?
Within the 3 days before you arrive. The form is online at tdac.immigration.go.th and has no fee. It has been required for all non-Thai nationals since May 1, 2025, according to the Royal Thai Embassy. It is an arrival card, not a visa, so your entry status still depends on your passport.
Can I spend crypto in Bangkok shops?
As a rule, no. Since April 1, 2022, a Thai SEC rule has barred digital asset businesses from supporting crypto payments for goods and services. A pilot for foreign tourists, TouristDigiPay, was announced on August 18, 2025. It lets visitors convert crypto into baht for everyday spending. Its 2026 status was not found. We sell the ticket; paying on the spot is another matter.
Is a connection cheaper than a non-stop flight to Bangkok?
Not on the day we checked. On October 12, 2026, for a departure on November 11, the lowest market fare observed was a Jeju Air non-stop flight. The four connections, through Singapore, Hong Kong, Shenzhen or Shanghai, cost more and took longer. Each search result shows the stops and the travel time next to the total, so compare both before you choose.
Which coin needs the fewest confirmations?
SOL, with 1 confirmation on Solana. BTC needs 2, LTC 6, and ETH, USDC and USDT on Ethereum need 12. USDT on Tron (TRC-20) needs 20. The count is not a time promise: network speed varies, and we do not publish a measured delay yet. See paying with SOL.
Who issues my Bangkok e-ticket?
The airline, in the traveller's name. Our team books the ticket on request, while the total is held on your balance. The balance is charged only when the airline issues the e-ticket number, and the e-ticket then appears in My trips. If it can't be issued in time, the full amount is released to your balance, and you can book again or withdraw it.
Can I fly to Bangkok from Busan instead of Incheon?
You can search from Busan Gimhae (PUS) or any other airport. This page covers Incheon to Suvarnabhumi, and our market fare survey did not cover Busan. If our live search finds a flight, it shows the airline, the stops and the full total for your dates.
