Although it has been running flights for fifty years, Thai Airways, one of Asia’s leading airlines continues to grow in popularity. A high level of service and comfort is provided to those who travel for business or pleasure on Thai Airways to Thailand and other destinations in Southeast Asia.
It takes less than an hour to get to downtown Bangkok after you have landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport when you fly Thai Airways to Bangkok. This airport is also known as New Bangkok International Airport and is the main hub for the domestic and international flights of Thai Airways. Even if your final destination is elsewhere, you shouldn’t pass up a chance to visit Bangkok, the bustling capital city of Thailand. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first, because the city does have a population over 11 million and can be quite crowded with both pedestrians and traffic. It could take you weeks to see all the ornate palaces, temples, authentic restaurants, busy nightclubs and traditional markets that offer a peek at the culture and history of Thailand. Thailand has two sides to it, the traditional and modern that you can see in Bangkok. A new level of service from Thai Airways that offers some of the same luxuries as the more expensive tickets, but for less money is called Premium Economy Class. Lean back in the larger roomier seats, enjoy the wider isles and the extra leg room. With the reclining seats you’ll be able to relax and even fall sleep if you so desire. If you want to use your laptop during the flight, power outlets are offered as well. Premium Economy Class is not available on all flights, so you should inquire with Thai Airways if you’re interested in booking this type of service.
You will certainly love visiting Thailand, if beaches are enjoyable to you, because there are beautiful beaches to be found there. There are plenty of beaches that you can relax on, when you have finished exploring the city of Bangkok, the city you flew into on Thai Airways. There is a beach on the island of Phucket, known as Patong Beach, that is one of the best beaches in the country. When you are at the beach you can do whatever you prefer, from shopping, and water sports, as well as spending time at the nightclubs. Railey Beach is a more remote beach that you may prefer, because you can explore caves and lagoons, or look at the dramatic cliffs, or simply enjoy the water and sand. As remote as this beach is, you will get the sense that you are on a deserted island, because you can only get to it by boat.
Thai Airways knows how to run a world class airline because it has over 50 years of experience in airline operations. The awards won from objective airline rating organizations such as Skytrax offers proof of this. While they are considered to be the airline of choice for traveling to Thailand, you may want to think of using them for other destinations as well.
