When a domestic flight is often less than an hour, meals can become
incidentals that passengers often do without and could well do without paying
for. Orient Thai Airlines is another ‘bare bones’ airline that prides itself on
a fast, efficient service and offering customers peanuts and soft drinks instead
of full meals! Flights costs are as follows: Chaing Rai 1,300 Baht, Chiang Mai
1,150 Baht, Hat Yai 1,300 Baht, Phuket 1,150 Baht, Surat Thai 1,500 Baht, and
Krabi 1,500 Baht. International routes include Bangkok-Hongkong,
Phuket-Hongkong, Krabi-Hongkong, Bangkok-Incheon, Bangkok-Guangzhou,
Bangkok-Singapore, Krabi-Hongkong, and Bangkok-Singapore.
The first low fare airline in Asia offers ‘no frills’, ‘ticketless’ air travel around Thailand and elsewhere in the region.
