toybits Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thai Smile, the budget airline of TG will be taking all TG flights. TG has suspended flights to Chiang Rai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I cant see Chiang Rai as a destination on their website, would you still book through the TG site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake24 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thai Smile, the budget airline of TG will be taking all TG flights. TG has suspended flights to Chiang Rai. It's only available next year. That's the info i got from wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thai airways was still accepting bookings today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake24 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes you can book on thai airways but damn it's expensive. It's more expensive flying from bkk to chiang rai compared to flying from my country to bkk. WTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Low capacity paired with high demand and you get high prices. Low demand, with high capacity and you get reduce fares in an attempt to fill empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low demand, with high capacity and you get reduce fares in an attempt to fill empty seats. Still doesn't make sense let's just leave the fact that 2 are budget airlines and one is a normal airline and just follow your logic for a while. There are x number of ppl that want to fly to chiang rai and back to bkk and vice versa. Suffice to say these ppl would most likely just choose any airline they wanted cos the flights are short unless more ppl actually want to fly via thai airways vs the other 2 airlines.

sceadugenga Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I gave up Air Asia for Thai when they stopped flying into Swampy, pain in the butt when you have an international connection... and NO... going a day early and having the big night out in Bangkok lost it's appeal years ago.

bifftastic Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I always use one of the cheaper airlines, I don't mind going to DMK instead of BKK if I've got an international flight to catch. But some will use Thai for that reason. When I'm in Bangkok anyway, there's no way I'd be paying three times the fare just to go with Thai. Air Asia, or Nok whichever's cheapest, it's only an hour and a bit. A plane's a plane. Headphones, book, relax, wait till we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
