“We are delighted to further connect Thailand with one more top travel destination of Vietnam – ‘Phu Quoc’, the emerging island in the south of the country, providing Thai people more opportunities and flexible choices to travel to Vietnam, as well as welcoming Vietnamese tourists to Thailand. Since tourism is on its track to returning to the pre-pandemic level, we strongly believe that the service between the two destinations would help facilitate the region’s growing travel demand and stimulate the trade recovery of both countries, particularly, the international tourism industry and aviation business” said Mr. Woranate Laprabang, Chief Executive Officer of Thai Vietjet.
In the beginning, the new international service from Bangkok to Phu Quoc will operate 4 flights a week every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with an approximate flight duration of 1 hour 15 minutes and following flight schedule:
