Do I need a visa to fly from Kunming to Bangkok?

It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same Kunming → Bangkok flight can face completely different entry rules. Check the destination country’s official immigration site or your foreign-ministry travel advice for your passport, and do it before booking: some destinations require a visa obtained in advance, others issue visas or waivers on arrival.

How many bags can I take on flights from Kunming to Bangkok?

Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (China Eastern Airlines, Thai Airways International) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.

Where can I store luggage in Bangkok?

Bangkok has a left-luggage network — the night-train departure is late — storage turns the dead afternoon into a river errand FlyraGo’s Bangkok luggage storage page lists the network, with flat daily rates you can book before you fly.
