Bangkok Flights

Thai Airways International plans to increase frequency of direct flights from Bangkok to Moscow from three to four flights per week from October.

Executive vice-president for commercial, Mr Pandit Chanapai, said the airline anticipated the demand from Russians for Thailand would increase significantly during the high season, which started from October, hence increasing the flight frequency on the route was commercially viable.

Last year, there were 279,771 Russian arrivals to Thailand or a 46.60 per cent growth over 2006, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
