This page is one record in a maintained database of 15 airlines flying to, from and within Thailand. Every figure below was read from Nok Air’s own published documents on 2026-07-26 and is re-checked on a 90-day cycle. Where we do not have a figure, this page says so rather than guessing.

Nok Air carry-on allowance

• Weight 7kg (combined)
• Dimensions 36 x 56 x 23cm — As published by the airline (Length 36 / Height 56 / Width 23), per aircraft type (Boeing 737, the only type listed). The dimension SET is identical to Thai Lion Air’s {56, 36, 23} but the axes are published in a different order – a comparison table should normalise the order and say so, not silently reorder.
• Pieces 2 (including the personal item)
• Personal item allowed, up to 10 x 40 x 30cm — Must fit under the seat in front. Nok Air is one of the few Thai carriers that publishes an explicit size cap for the personal item.

Checked baggage: what is included

Nok Air prices checked baggage by weight. Every kilogram over your allowance is billable, so a small overage still costs money. As a low-cost carrier, Nok Air sells the hold separately from the seat — the cheapest fare carries cabin baggage only.

How Nok Air compares with the rest of the market

• Cabin allowance is the market standard. 7kg is what 12 of the 15 carriers we track allow, low-cost and full-service alike.
• No checked bag in the fare — standard for a low-cost carrier. That split holds without exception across all 15 carriers we track.
• Priced by weight, like 10 of the 15 carriers here. The 5 piece-based carriers ask a different question of you.
• Thai domestic excess at ฿400 per kg is above the market mean of ฿307.5 per kg (the Excess Fee Index for this route class).
• Southeast Asia excess at ฿500 per kg is above the market mean of ฿451.47 per kg (the Excess Fee Index for this route class).

Comparisons are computed from the same database, so they move when a carrier’s published rate moves. The full cross-airline picture is in The Thailand Baggage Guide.
