Interesting to see flights between Betong and Hat Yai! Perhaps another round of flight between Betong and Bangkok or Pattaya could be given a go. My guess is that plenty of folks in Pattaya would like to see the wonders of the deep south.

I kind of sniggered, but that's how my mind works...  Pattaya home of the wonders of the deep south.

Given the destinations on offer, it seems they will encourage more girls from Isaan to come to Pattaya.

EZY Airlines has also entered the scene with a unique route between Hat Yai and Betong

 

Yes, I can see how this flight will help Pattaya tourism "skyrocket", given that those two cities are a mere 1000+km from the Pearl of the Eastern Seaboard 🙄

Have a couple of tourist friends visiting Pattaya and they both commented how great it is to be in Pattaya.  Not so crowded, traffic noticeably less and plenty seating in the agogo's.  They wish it was like this all the time.

With the greatest respect to the airline, I do not think it will contribute to the tourist boom!

 

Ezy Airlines Thailand's current fleet consists of one Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX, registered as HS-EZY. This aircraft is configured to carry 12 passengers plus the two pilots.

Reminds me of KAN AIR (now defunct) that operated mainly across the north of Thailand)

Yeah.  I also read somewhere that there'll be one of these flying Hua Hin to U-Tapao. Presumably replacing the ferry... 😆

Surge of tourism for Pattaya from domestic flights?
Hard not to laugh.
Have you been through Utapao?
Why would you bother when flights are so limited and there is good road transport from BKK.
The media should dream something realistic, please.
No chance of casinos now, and even if there could be the high speed railway, that seems to have lost its way.

One day depressed by missing Chinese.

The other day skyrocketed by some domestic flights from Udon to U-Tapao and who knows from where.

 

Ever wonder why Thai chicks are bipolar and easy to give 🐈 ?

Ferry died years ago. I'd fly to Pattaya for a day, to go shopping.

They can only afford the bus in that direction, perhaps fly the other way flush with cash!

I have a good friend who just spent a week and Pattaya, he's been coming there once or twice a year for 15 years, and he said he's never seen it so quiet, and in all that time nearly everyone he ran into was an expat, and they were very few tourists anywhere he went. 

 

Did your friend come during covid ?

 

That was bliss, I wish covid would return.

No he was just here last week. I was here during covid and I agree it was incredible, we traveled around Thailand a lot, wherever we went it was deserted, hotels were cheap, and it was like visiting Thailand 50 years ago. However, the inability to travel on a internationally did drive me crazy after a while.

Reminds of Ryan Air ......Frankfurt Hahn, Dusseldorf Weezer etc.......get there and you face at least an other hours journey, no rail link and taxi drivers already to scam you alive.

He never looked for them. No interest. I wasn't saying that there weren't tourists in Pattaya, it's just that the crowds were greatly diminished

Indian mass tourism  (for most of them is Thailand is first foreign destination in their life!!!)  to Pattaya and their expansion here  is scary  for both  farang tourists and expats…

Tourists from all  over the world want to see Thai way of living ( chiwit thai) in Pattaya , not noisy Bollywood culture  with masala restaurants and belly dances on Thai beaches.:)
