Yes, if your work permit happens to be for the airline you are buying a ticket from.

Only if you have the  ‘hansum’ card…

 

Seriously though…. Communication is an amazing thing….  
…. Is Samui down south ?  Bkk airways resident discount…

I think it could be true.

But this 50% discount,  is maybe only available for the outside seats.

Domestic flights already cheap.

If you can't afford a domestic flight in Thailand, maybe time to look for a better paid job.

no, it is not true. there is no discount workpernit holders

BUT if you have some kind of special situation then can be which is 1 in a million. 

for example the cave divers who saved 13 people.. they got 3 years thai airways 70% discount.

Bangkok Airways offers a 30% discount to residents of Samui (on Samui flights).

 

I recall being told it was 50% by a friend who lives there - that may have changed in the last few years.
