London Gatwick to Bangkok: Around 11 hours 30 minutes eastbound
Return flight (Bangkok to London): Approximately 11 hours 45 minutes to 12 hours

During British Summer Time (BST), Bangkok is 6 hours ahead during British Summer Time.
Check the time difference when planning connections or scheduling activities on arrival.
