Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Sep is the cheapest for LA → BKK. Best time to be there: Nov–Feb.
Fares bottom out in September around $386 and peak in February near $748 — a $362 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 19 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under Asiana Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $386 for 13,303 km each way, that works out to about $15 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $40 that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 14 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bangkok, this is the cheapest right now — 9% under the next one, San Francisco. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 36 routes of similar length we watch out of Los Angeles.

Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $705 round-trip. At $386 you're 45% below that, saving about $319, which we rate rare for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Los Angeles 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 LA → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 Los Angeles to Bangkok?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Asiana Airlines. 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.
