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.
