Bangkok Airways testing the turf again, they have just abandoned the Udon Thani route, at short notice, leaving many punters high and dry - Wouldn't trust em as far as I could kick em!

It's been tried several times, most recently by Happy Air and before that Nok Air, the last company to make it work was Phuket Air, but their air safety record saw them shut down.

I hope they succeed.

We covered this in the Southern Thailand forum a while back.
