Travel around Thailand gets easier as low-cost airline boom continues
2 September 2011A night on a sleeper train used to be a mark of prestige for travelers in backpacking paradise Thailand, but all that could be about to change thanks to the rapid growth of low-cost airlines.
Thai Airways, the country’s main airline, confirmed this week that it is to launch another low-cost carrier (Thai Smile) in July next year, operating from Bangkok to allow travelers to travel easily within the country.
The multitude of low-cost airlines in Thailand is sure to please budget-concious travelers – but it could mean the end of a night on a Thai train as a quintessential backpacking experience.
