Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Sep is the cheapest for MAD → BKK. Best time to be there: Nov–Feb.
Fares bottom out in September around $524 and peak in February near $654 — a $130 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 16.5 hours outbound, on a 9-night trip — ticketed under Air China, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $524 for 10,181 km each way, that works out to about $26 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $44 that long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 18 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bangkok, this fare ranks 8th — 13% above the $462 from London. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 35 routes of similar length we watch out of Madrid.

MAD → BKK, answered.
Is $524 a good price for Madrid to Bangkok?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $585 round-trip and this fare is 10% under it, about $61. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Madrid 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 MAD → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 Madrid to Bangkok?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air China. 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.
