A Tourist Choice

With the growth of tourism in Thailand there is a need for new destinations to open to satisfy that demand. As of October 1999, Bangkok Airways will be adding four new domestic routes and two international routes to their network. These are Bangkok to Krabi, Krabi to Samui, Bangkok to Mae Sot and Bangkok to Roi Et. For anyone thinking but Krabi does not have an airport don't worry. Our sources inform us that the airport at Krabi is due for completion in July this year.

The new internationl routes are Phuket to Siem Reap and Sukhothai to Luang Prabang.

"For the first time, tourists will be able to plan itineraries that include direct connections between Phuket and Angkor Wat or Koh Samui and Krabi" explained Dr Prasert Prassarttong-Ossoth, President and CEO of Bangkok Airways.

".....and discover culturally rich destinations such as Roi-Et and Mae Sot which have previously been too inaccessible", he added.
