SKÅL International Hua Hin & Cha Am Welcomes Plan for New Direct Flights to Phuket
Enhancing its attractiveness to tourists seeking multi-destination holidays in Thailand, SKAL International Hua Hin & Cha Am and other tourism organisations have thrown their support behind a plan by Phoenix Aviation Thailand to launch direct flights between Hua Hin and Phuket later this summer.
President of SKÅL Hua Hin, Stacey Walton welcomed the news and said: “Hua Hin and Phuket are two of the country’s leading tourist and golf destinations and I foresee that this flight will be extremely popular with both domestic and international travellers and help us to rebuild our industry following the challenges of the past few years.”
Current travel time between the two destinations by road or by air via Bangkok is around 8 hours which will be significantly reduced, as well as offering onward international connections through Phuket international Airport which is currently served by flights from Europe, Asia and Australia. The new service will address a growing demand for flights between these two key destinations
That interest has been reconfirmed after early media announcements and social media posts in Hua Hin received an overwhelming interest and support.
Stacey Walton added, “We’re really excited about this announcement, it’s been in the pipeline for some time, and I believe now that Thailand has reopened to tourism, pent-up demand will see a surge in international visitors with golfers at the forefront, eager to maximise on Thailand’s superb choice of world-class courses, as well as major golf events in the two destinations.”
