BANGKOK (NNT) - Besides the tourism promotion policy launched by the government, members of the private sector like The Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Bangkok Airways also provided discounts as part of the economic stimulus.

 

Members, employees, and college students of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, numbering around 20,000 people will be able to get a 10 percent discount from Bangkok Airways on flights to all its destinations, and 50 kilograms of passenger luggage instead of the usual 20 kilogram load.

Besides the discounts, the airline will also open new routes from Bangkok- Mae Sot; Bangkok - Hat Yai, and Bangkok - Khon Kaen in order to help stimulate and recover Thailand’s tourism and economy.

 

Kalin Sarasin, Chairman of The Thai Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of Thailand revealed today that the collaboration with Bangkok Airways has also arranged activities in three provinces on the Andaman sea side including Phuket, Krabi and Phanga, creating attractions to draw tourists to the region by promoting each province’s strength ranging from seafood to unique locations.

If they want to help Samui and boost domestic tourism they should allow other airlines to land there and create competitive and reasonable fare pricing.

Bangkok Airways paid for the whole thing. In 86 when I went there for the last time, the boat was your only option. You still can fly with THai (not at the moment) and take the boat. Or Train and boat or bus and boat, so other cheaper options are available.

They don't even mention Samui lately - all the new routes are from Bangkok. So maybe we'll live to see Bangkok Airways selling a stake at Samui airport.
