Private jets in Thailand

Why fly private in Thailand?

Your own aircraft, on your time: no main terminal, no connections, and the whole group and the luggage together. You land, the doors open, and the van is already at the steps.

It's priced with the villa, the boat and the cars, so the flight is just the start of the trip.

Bangkok is Phuket's busiest private route: LunaJets counted 530 private flights between the two in 2025, about a third of everything Phuket handled. Which jet fits your group? Tanner matches it.

How much does a private jet cost?

A private jet charter in Thailand is priced to your trip, not to a list. Four things set it.

The route sets the flight time, and whether the jet flies back empty. The aircraft's size follows your group and your luggage. Waiting days count if the jet stays with you for the return, and the fees cover the airport, landing slots and catering on board.

A one-way trip can cost close to a return, because the aircraft still flies home. Have it priced both ways before you choose.

Which routes can you fly?

The long hops by jet, the short ones by helicopter.

Helicopters land only at licensed helipads, airports or a site with a landing permit, so some islands are the last leg by boat.

Phuket to Bangkok private flights are busiest from December to March, so lock in those weeks first. Pick your route, and Tanner matches the aircraft to it.

Jet or helicopter?

A jet for long hops like Bangkok to Phuket, and a helicopter for short ones like Bangkok to Pattaya or Hua Hin.

The jet gives you range, more seats and room for a week of luggage. The helicopter gives you city helipads and the arrival shot everyone remembers. Plenty of groups do both: a jet to the island, then a helicopter or a boat for the last leg.

The charter helicopters we book in Bangkok seat 5, so a group of 6 needs a second aircraft or a jet. A big group may need a bigger jet, or two aircraft. Tanner sizes it to your headcount. Insider tip: share passport details early and pack soft bags.

Which Bangkok airport do jets use?

Most private jets in Bangkok use the private terminals at Don Mueang, the city's older airport. MJets runs its main private jet terminal there, its own site says (checked October 2026), and Suvarnabhumi has private terminals too.

For helicopters, our charter partner picks up from more than 20 helipads around Bangkok and lands at over 130 sites across Thailand.

A quiet check-in, away from the crowds in the main terminal.

Your car meets you at both ends, from the hotel to the terminal and from the plane to the villa. For the rest of the week, see our private drivers. Your car is booked for both ends of the flight.

Twelve of you to Phuket

Twelve friends check in at Don Mueang on a Friday with no queue, the bags go in the hold, and about 1 hour 20 minutes later the cars are waiting at the steps in Phuket.

Tanner's pick is one mid-size jet, so the whole group lands together. Hold your dates, and he holds the aircraft.

What a helicopter adds

From the airport to the villa, from the city to the beach, or up over the islands at sunset.

Skip the drive from Phuket airport to the villa, hop from Bangkok to the coast, fly over Phang Nga Bay, or fly out to meet the boat and cruise back.

See yacht parties in Thailand or helicopter tours and transfers, and ask Tanner to add a flight to the week. Plan it with Tanner, and the whole route is priced the same day.
