Thai Airways International (THAI) have started a twice-daily flights schedual between Bangkok and Koh Samui Island, targeting European tourists making stopovers in the capital city of Bangkok. The airline says it expects more than 70 per cent of passengers on its Bangkok-Samui routes to be foreigners.

“We aim to make the route very competitive by marketing it to tourists from major European cities currently served by THAI connecting through Suvarnabhumi Airport,” said THAI Exectuive Vice President Pandit Chanapai.

Samui, already one of Thailand’s most popular resort islands, has for the past two decades been served exclusively by Bangkok Airways, a private airline that owns the island’s only airport. THAI must pay Bangkok Airways for the use of its airport and ground services in order to gain access to the island.

Welcome to Thailand Scuba Tours!

After many years of travelling to Thailand as a tourist on budget trips, me and my wife decided to try living in Thailand for 6 months while she took a sabbatical for her job, I was the house dad then! Our daughter had just turned 3 when we arrived in Ao Nang, Krabi and i started to try and get work in the local Thailand scuba industry as a dive instructor. I had been working part time for a dive shop near Manchester in the UK as an instructor for abut 3years in the rain, snow frozen lakes and biting winds so felt I deserved a break somewhere tropical.

Things went really well for us for us in that 6 months but i will say staying in paradise is not all roses! Our plan was to come back to the UK sell up and move out to Thailand full time but just before we came back my wife found out she was pregnant with our second child, so that puts the brakes on our plans for moving out there full time. I did however go back out for another season but this time as a dive shop manager, this turned out to be a mistake for more reasons than one.

When i arrived back in the UK i decided then that we would wait till our son was 3 before we went back out to Thailand and that is what we have done! He will be 3 in October and we have plans to pick up where we left off a few years and tears ago.

Whether you are a backpack budget traveler looking for a cheap Thailand holiday or a family looking for a fun holiday we hope we can help you find it here or a least some information that will help you choose Thailand as your next holiday destination. Take your time to read some of the postings on this site as many of them will be full of information that you might find useful.

I hope you enjoy this blog and that contact me with anything you want to know or something i may have done or said wrong. I have lots of information i want to get across about living in Thailand but more importantly what Thailand is like as a holiday maker, the problem is I’m not a natural writer and sometimes i feel my style is too clinical. I hope writing in a blog and reading others will help me relax that style.

See you all soon
