Brussels in late November means drizzle at 4pm and darkness by 5. Bangkok means 31°C, dry skies and dinner on a plastic stool at midnight.
Air China and Hainan Airlines are flying from Brussels to Bangkok from €424 return, with one stop in Beijing. Checked baggage and hand luggage are included, and the dates fall in November and December 2026.
✈️ The Deal
- From: Brussels, Belgium
- To: Bangkok, Thailand
- Airline: Air China, Hainan Airlines
- Stops: 1 stop (Beijing)
- Price: €424–€437 return
- When: November - December 2026
Example dates:
08/11/2026 - 20/11/2026
23/11/2026 - 03/12/2026

The cheapest Air China fares come with long layovers in Beijing, up to 20 hours, and some return flights switch between Daxing and Capital airports. For around €437, Hainan Airlines keeps both connections at 4 to 5 hours in Beijing Capital.
💰 How far does your money go?
In Brussels, €2.40 covers one STIB ride. In Bangkok, it buys a plate of khao man gai, steamed chicken over rice, with change left for an iced tea. A cone of frites from a fritkot costs about €4. That is roughly what you pay for a full bowl of boat noodles and a cold Chang. An hour of Thai massage is around €8, and a ride on the Chao Phraya Express Boat costs less than 50 cents.
☀️ The Weather
November and December are Bangkok's cool, dry season and the most comfortable time to visit. Expect daytime highs of 31-32°C, nights around 22-24°C and almost no rain. Humidity drops after mid-November, so long walks around the Old Town become a pleasure rather than a test.

🎯 What to Do
Bangkok is loud, hot and impossible to get bored in.
Muay Thai at Rajadamnern Stadium: The country's oldest boxing stadium, with fights most evenings and a crowd that bets on every round.
Cycling Bang Krachao: The city's "green lung", a jungle-covered loop of the river with raised bike paths, a five-minute boat ride from Khlong Toei.
Talad Noi: A crumbling riverside neighbourhood of street art, car-part workshops and old Chinese shrines next to Chinatown.
Chao Phraya Express Boat: The orange-flag boat runs past Wat Arun, the Grand Palace and riverside markets for pocket change. The best cheap tour in town.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Bangkok is the gateway to the rest of Thailand and beyond.
Hua Hin: The Thai royal family's favourite beach town, with night markets and seafood, about 3 hours by train or minivan.
