Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Sep is the cheapest for AUH → BKK. Best time to be there: Nov–Feb.
Fares bottom out in September around $269 and peak in August near $1,378 — a $1,109 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 8.5 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under Air India Express, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $273 for 4,966 km each way, that works out to about $27 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bangkok, this is the cheapest right now — though Dubai is within a few dollars. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 37 routes of similar length we watch out of Abu Dhabi, where the middle fare is $396.

Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Sep comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Bangkok are Nov–Feb — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book AUH → Bangkok?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 7 months of cached fares, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air India Express. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
