webfact Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 By Adam Judd Phuket, Thailand-Tourism leaders in Phuket have been speaking to the Thai government and airline industry executives to attempt to find solutions for what they say are expensive domestic flights. According to Mr. Poomkit Raktae Ngam, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Phuket Tourism Business Association, tourism leaders are fairly pleased with a rebound in international tourism and foreign tourists, especially from Russia, India, Malaysia, Australia, and other nearby counties. The Phuket Express wrote earlier today about predictions on rapidly increasing Russian tourism but Poomkit’s main concern is domestic tourism, not international.

visabouncer Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I would prefer high prices but without cancellation lottery followed by 6 months of waiting for a refund. A typical picture from a Thailand airport with cheap flight prices: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Never paid that much for a one-way from Suvarnabhumi to Khon Kaen in 11 years. The flight TO Suvarnabhumi: rescheduled to a later time three days ahead. Another reschedule 3 hours! before rescheduled time. Still late to this 2nd reschedule. Heaven thanks I didn't have a connecting flight. My trust in Thaismile suffered a lot. Edited November 7, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazbodner Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don't think flight prices are a problem. The taxi mafia costs a lot more than airfares. Why not start there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
