Belavia Belarusian Airlines has moved from charters to scheduled flights to Thailand. Its first scheduled Minsk–Bangkok flight, B2 799, landed at Suvarnabhumi at 17:05, TAT said in a release dated 26 October 2026. The route runs every Sunday on an Airbus A330-200 with 281 seats: it leaves Minsk at 03:10 and lands in Bangkok at 17:05, and the return leaves Bangkok at 19:05 and reaches Minsk at 01:50 the next day.

From 29 October the airline adds two flights a week between Minsk and Phuket on the same aircraft type. Its earlier charters, which began in January 2026, flew to U-Tapao and Phuket and stopped in the low season.

TAT notes that Belarusian passport holders are eligible for visa on arrival, which allows stays of up to 15 days. Our entry checklist sets out what to carry for it.
