majorpacman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i think someone told me, that NOk air is owed by square face thaskin. In the end, if the service is good and cheap...people will take any cheap and good quality airplanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLew Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nok Air lands at Don Mueang Air Asia lands at Swampy Which is more convenient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, if the service is good and cheap...people will take any cheap and good quality airplanes Your "someone" is talking through their rectum. I would go tell them that. Nok is majority owned by government entities including Thai Airways, Krung Thai Bank, The Government Pension Fund & The Crown Property Bureau.

Nok is majority owned by government entities including Thai Airways, Krung Thai Bank, The Government Pension Fund & The Crown Property Bureau. In fact it is Air Asia that has a Thaksin connection. Thai Air Asia was orginally a joint venture between Air Asia (the Malaysian airline) and the Shin Corporation (the holding company for Thaksin family interests). When Thaksin sold Shin to Temasek of Singapore the shares in Thai Air Asia were sold to a Thai national unrelated to Thaksin. Not sure why any of this is relevent to which airline to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimky Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The differences in pricing is generally small. The two situations where one is preferred over the other: If booking online with a credit card not in the name of the passenger: Air Asia you'll have less problems. Nok Air this is a hassle. Other than that it really comes down to which bangkok airport is more convenient. If neither of these are a factor, go with the one that has the best price.

That why my wife would walk before she would use Air Asia.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why any of this is relevent to which airline to take I got told (but not sure on that) that one of Thaksins kids is a major shareholder in the Malaysian part. But it never interested me much so the information might be wrong or just half true.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
