Thai govt wants to raise fares of 'low-cost' airlines

Featured Replies

Prayut seemed to start off fairly well, but the wheels are really coming off the bus now.

Asking the airlines to raise prices ? It is so nonsensical that it is scarcely worth discussing.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

  • I don't believe this. Government intervention in a free market? I don't blame travellers who want to travel by air as opposed to the dangerous accident prone busses on Thai roads.

  • Suchinda Cherdchai should make her buses safer, less environment damaging, buy new high quality bises, hire skilled drivers, ensure the timetable is held and lower the prices. If she can not, then she

  • So, AirAsia can run an airline cheaper than the Thais can run a bus route? Maybe Thai Airways could lower prices and run domestic routes and run these bandits off?

Air Asia not only pioneered cheaper flights for locals and "farangs" for domestic flights in Thailand, it has created many jobs and has helped tourism. It is the government owned public bus transportation that needs to be "adjusted" (fixed) not the airline. This shows you how free competition between businesses can work as long as the government keeps their nose out of it.

Clang, Clang. I think it is time for the Good General to buy some muzzles for his "Heads of Department" & only take off

after a cold shower along with putting the brain in gear.

In this instance wud also keep an eye on the bus owners transactions to them.

what the hell?

this just confuses me so much

Not so confusing when you realize that this place is the hub of 'though we strive for mediocraty...we will accept less'.

If an airline can pay 10 million dollars (guess) for a plane and charge 1,000 baht for a ticket and make a profit and a bus costs a fraction of the price of the plane and charges 500 baht for the same distance of travel and can not make a profit where is the problem here? Yes you guessed it ..... what is the problem .... Greed !!! Only greed !!!

That's what you could say about the taxis from the bus station in Phuket. B500 to Rawai, a journey of 17Km at the most. Don't forget to add up to a B1000 to Air Asias price for getting to the airport. Phuket to BKK prices seem good in comparison to Phuket's taxis

Totally crazy and shows the mentality of Thais and competition.

I agree, it is retarded.
