from €380 return with Saudia
This is a good-value full-service fare rather than a spectacular one, but the headline price becomes much more attractive once you factor in the included 23 kg checked bag.
The cheapest reference option was approximately €380 through Mytrip, with Flugladen around €384, both reached through the Skyscanner Austria / German-language booking flow.
Saudia was also listed as a vendor on Skyscanner at approximately €436.
If the price difference remains close to that, I would personally lean toward selecting Saudia from the Skyscanner vendor list and completing the booking with the airline.
The reference itinerary is 19 Oct - 29 Oct 2026.
The schedule is the main weakness: there is a late-night connection in Riyadh on the outbound and the return leaves Bangkok at 01:15.
Neither connection is an overnight airport stay, but the timings are less comfortable than some competing routings.
One useful detail to know before booking: Saudia is a dry airline, so alcohol is not served onboard.
I would not treat that as a major weakness, but it is worth knowing in advance.
Flugladen: ~€384
Saudia via Skyscanner: ~€436
Checked baggage: 23 kg included
Availability: 5 combinations
VIE 16:30 → RUH 23:05
Saudia SV152 · approximately 5h35
Riyadh connection: 3h05
Continue overnight from Riyadh to Bangkok, arriving at approximately 13:45 the following day.
Total journey time: approximately 16h15.
The connection is manageable, but because it falls late at night it is less comfortable than a daytime transit.
BKK 01:15 → JED 06:15
Saudia SV849 · approximately 9h00
Jeddah connection: 3h20
JED 09:35 → VIE 13:05
Saudia SV151 · approximately 5h30
Total journey time: approximately 17h50.
The 01:15 departure is the main schedule compromise, although the daytime arrival back in Vienna is convenient.
One Saudia connection each way: Riyadh outbound and Jeddah on the return.

The cheapest reference option was approximately €380 with Mytrip. Flugladen was around €384. Both were reached through Skyscanner Austria using the German-language booking flow. Saudia was also listed as a vendor at approximately €436. The fare used for this deal includes 23 kg checked baggage.
A sub-€400 return fare from Vienna to Bangkok is attractive, but this is not the kind of fare I would call exceptional on price alone.
The stronger value point is that the fare includes a 23 kg checked bag, which makes the total cost much more competitive than a stripped-down fare that requires baggage to be added later.
There are also 5 useful October combinations, giving a reasonable choice of trip lengths.
The biggest weakness is the timetable.
The outbound connection in Riyadh runs through the late-night hours, while the return starts from Bangkok at 01:15.
Neither direction involves an overnight airport stay, but these timings are less family-friendly and less comfortable than some alternative routings.
If schedule quality matters more than price, compare the Saudia itinerary against other carriers before booking.
Alcohol is not served onboard Saudia flights. I would not score the fare down heavily for this, but it is useful to know before travelling — especially on a long-haul holiday itinerary where some passengers may expect alcoholic drinks as part of the onboard service.
The lowest prices were shown through the Skyscanner Austria German-language booking flow.
Mytrip was approximately €380 and Flugladen approximately €384.
Open the relevant date below, compare both vendors and check the final baggage / fare conditions before paying.
If Saudia remains around €436, I would seriously consider paying the difference and selecting Saudia directly from the Skyscanner vendor list.
This keeps the booking with the operating airline while still using the Skyscanner booking path.
For a long-haul trip, that can make schedule changes and disruption handling simpler.
I found 5 October combinations. The 19-29 October itinerary is the reference option used for the fare proof and schedule above.
A good-value Bangkok fare with a proper checked bag included, but the late-night outbound connection and 01:15 return departure stop it from scoring higher. The price is attractive without being exceptional, and the itinerary works best for travellers who prioritise value over perfect flight times.

New communityBangkok has accommodation for almost every budget — from simple guesthouses and hostels to some of Asia's best luxury hotels. For a first visit, I would choose the area before choosing the hotel because Bangkok is huge and the neighbourhood can change the whole experience.
For most travellers, 3 nights is a very good starting point. That gives you enough time for the major sights, food, river or rooftop experiences and a bit of downtime before continuing elsewhere in Thailand.
Bangkok hotel prices can vary enormously by neighbourhood, hotel category and cancellation conditions. I would compare the same dates across several areas before deciding — especially if you are staying more than three nights.
There is no single best neighbourhood for everyone. These are the areas I would compare first depending on the type of trip you want.
For a Thailand trip of around 10–15 nights, I would normally combine Bangkok with one cultural or northern destination and one beach region. Thailand is easy to move around, but adding too many stops quickly turns a holiday into a sequence of airports and hotel check-ins.
3 nights Bangkok + 6 nights Krabi / Phuket + 1 final night Bangkok.
Simple, easy and ideal if the main goal is a city + beach holiday.
3 nights Bangkok + 4 nights Chiang Mai + 4 nights beach + 1 final night Bangkok.
A strong first-time Thailand itinerary with city, culture and beach time.
4 nights Bangkok + 4 nights Chiang Mai + 5 nights Krabi / Phuket + 1 final night Bangkok.
Enough time to slow the pace slightly while still seeing three very different parts of Thailand.
I would normally limit a first Thailand trip to Bangkok + two additional regions. Day trips can cover nearby sights without another hotel change.
