Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Sep is the cheapest for ATH → BKK. Best time to be there: Nov–Feb.
Fares bottom out in September around $488 and peak in April near $723 — a $235 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 11 hours outbound, on a 28-night trip — ticketed under Air Arabia, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $488 for 7,922 km each way, that works out to about $31 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 18 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bangkok, this fare ranks 5th — 6% above the $462 from London. It is also the cheapest of the 24 routes of similar length we watch out of Athens.

What is the cheapest month to fly from Athens to Bangkok?
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 ATH → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 Athens to Bangkok?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air Arabia. 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.
