        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Bangkok (DMK) to Mumbai (BOM) typically takes about 4 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes. With one stop, depending on the layover city, total travel time often ranges from 7 to 10 hours. The return flight duration is similar, usually within the same range."

        "answer": "Thai Lion Air (SL) flies nonstop from Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK) to Mumbai (BOM) with one daily departure at 20:50, operating every day of the week. That's the only carrier offering a direct flight on this route.",

If you are an Indian citizen flying from Mumbai to Bangkok, you can enter Thailand visa‑free for up to 30 days when arriving by air. Travelers of other nationalities should check both India’s and Thailand’s entry rules based on their passport."

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Mumbai?",
        "answer": "From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), the fastest way to central Mumbai is typically a pre-paid taxi or app-based ride-hail like Uber or Ola, taking around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Auto-rickshaws are not permitted at the terminals but can be taken from nearby roads for shorter trips. A new metro line connects the airport to key hubs and is the most used mass transit option, offering a reliable alternative during peak hours. Car rentals are available but less common due to dense traffic and limited parking. Most visitors opt for taxis or ride-hail for a direct, air-conditioned ride.",

        "question": "How do I get to Don Mueang Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Bangkok, the quickest and most popular way to reach Don Mueang Airport is by metered taxi, which takes roughly 30 minutes to an hour and costs around 200 baht from the Siam area. For a budget option, public buses like No. 29 serve the airport for about 18 baht, though they are slower due to traffic. Ride‑share services are available and offer similar convenience to taxis, while driving yourself is possible via the Don Mueang Tollway, with parking available at the airport.",
