Thai AirAsia CEO Santisuk Klongchaiya said: “Vietnam is one of the countries where AirAsia will expand its network to cater to the growing demand for air travel brought about by the many cities that the country has successfully developed as tourism centres. This latest route reaffirms AirAsia’s position as the provider of the most direct flights between Thailand and Vietnam; we fly on six routes to five cities across the country. We are proud to note that Thai AirAsia is the only airline serving Phu Quoc directly from Don Mueang, offering guests on-time service at great affordability.”
Phu Quoc is the southernmost island of Vietnam, close to the border with Cambodia. While not yet widely known among Thai travellers, it offers a range of interesting attractions, such as the island’s Starfish Beach and gondola rides at Vietnam’s largest amusement park, VinPearl Grand World, dubbed the Venice of Vietnam. Other attractions include VinWonders Phu Quoc, VinPearl Sea Shell Aquarium and VinPearl Safari Phu Quoc for animal viewing, the longest overseas cable car ride in the world at Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park, and Sunset Town, the Mediterranean-style setting with Vietnamese twists ideal for leisure strolls.
Thai AirAsia now operates 77 weekly flights from Bangkok (Don Mueang) to Hanoi (14), Ho Chi Minh City (21), Danang (21), Nha Trang (7) and Phu Quoc (7), while from Chiang Mai the airline flies to Hanoi (7).
