DGS1244 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Originally Qatar Airways were suppose to start a direct daily flight from Doha to Chiang Mai this last November, now talking about January 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just bob Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 That might make me consider going to see moto gp in Qatar. But Krabi? Its so overcrowded now its ridiculous. Anyone remember how cool it was before they put the airport in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamhua Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Krabi makes sense, there is a large muslim population there...lots of halal food and mosques catering to the middle east tourist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieAus Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I have flown with Qatar on three occasions from Bangkok to the UK in the last couple of years The service is excellent the fares highly competitive and they have or had the youngest fleet of aircraft Living in the North of Thailand I would be very happy if they commence operating from Chiang Mai This airline leaves Thai Airways far behind in all respects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a10ams Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I do Bangkok-Doha-Baku and back every 28 days with Qatar Airways. A great airline and all new planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 My own Qatar experience is quite old (a couple of flights until 2010). At that time the only down-point was the airport. Its high ranking in the airline quality rankings is well earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Just been to travel agent to see about CNX flight to Manchester UK. Agent phoned Qatar and they said nothing from CNX before 2018 at earliest. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Air Asia do have a daily flight direct between Chiang Mai & Krabi, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Recently in a tweet I have seen pictures from Krabi airport on Feb 3. Terrible queue/masses at the immigration checkpoint, a packed hall. Maybe another reason to rethink using direct international connections?

Ace of Pop Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Air Asia do have a daily flight direct between Chiang Mai & Krabi, FWIW.
