Thailand plans to provide 200,000 free domestic flights to international visitors who book an international flight, allowing an added roundtrip domestic flight at no charge. Participating carriers include Bangkok Airways, Nok Air, Thai Air Asia, Thai Airways, Thai Lion Air, and Thai Vietjet. The program is expected to run from September to November and requires 700 million Thai Baht ($21.6 million) and government approval. The program aims to boost tourism in secondary destinations like Chiang Mai, Krabi, and Sukhothai and to reduce congestion in Bangkok. The plan has prompted public debate about fairness and benefits.
With the program, travelers who book an international flight to Thailand will then have the option to add one additional roundtrip domestic flight at no charge.
This is an exclusive campaign for foreign visitors who haven't yet booked a ticket,
The program will require 700 million Thai Baht ($21.6 million) and is subject to government approval.
Why should people visiting for a week get free flights while Thai citizens... have to pay full price?
