Thailand Airlines - South East Asia

Air travel in Thailand is relatively convenient and visitors are offered a choice of domestic airlines that better serve your needs to the desired destinations. Currently, there are four airlines offering domestic flights around Thailand. They include Thai Airways International (THAI), Angel Air, Bangkok Airways and PB Air.

So far, THAI offers the most comprehensive domestic air services covering almost all domestic airports. But with the government’s liberalization policy for domestic air services, smaller airlines now have a better opportunity to compete. More domestic flights are soon to be added, except for the Bangkok-Hat Yai and Bangkok-Phuket routes, which are still monopolized by THAI.

Most airlines are also looking for opportunities to expand their services from Thailand to the emerging destinations nearby. Their expansion plans are in response to the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s policy to promote Thailand as the hub for the Mekong sub-region.

For example, THAI now operates flights to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Danang in Vietnam. Bangkok Airways has direct flights to Siam Riep in Cambodia and is looking to expand to Luang Prabang in Laos. Angel Air currently has direct flights from Chiang Rai to Chengdu in China and Bangkok to Luang Prabang. It is looking to expand its services to Pagan and Mandalay in Myanmar. PB Air, on the other hand, will emphasize routes connecting southern Thailand to Malaysia and Indonesia.
