Bangkok--2 Mar--Thai AirAsia
Daily Bangkok-Xiamen flights at extra low prices will be available starting March 25, when Thai AirAsia increases its flight frequency to better serve its fast-growing number of guests.
To match the excitement created by the increased flight frequency, Thai AirAsia will offer extra low airfare for travel between Bangkok and Xiamen. The promo will be launched this March 6.
“Our decision to fly to Xiamen daily will accommodate the strong demand in the Bangkok-Xiamen route. Travel between these two cities continues to increase in popularity. I am confident that the daily flights will offer added convenience to our guests. We remain committed in our aim to let everyone fly and to help drive these cities’ booming tourism industry to even greater heights,” said Tassapon Bijleveld, chief executive officer of Thai AirAsia.
The increase in flight frequency to daily comes less than two years after Thai AirAsia began flying to Xiamen. The Bangkok-Xiamen route opened in April 2005. The route enjoyed an average load factor of 85% in 2006.
Xiamen, dubbed as China’s Garden by the Sea, is among Asia’s most famous cities. Xiamen offers visitors a wonderful mix of spectacular natural sceneries and vibrant city entertainment. Among its most famous destinations is the virtually pollution-free Gulangyu Island, where visitors can enjoy clean air and lush surroundings. Other interesting destinations are Xiamen Underwater Sea World, where visitors can feed turtles and baby sharks; Wanshi Botanical Garden, which houses over 4,000 plant varieties and The Temple of the Kingdom of Heaven; Big Egg Bowling Alley, which also offers indoor go-carting; Xiamen Cultural Relics Store, where fine porcelain and exquisite art objects are sold; Xiamen Beach Area, which offers a view of nearby Jinmen Island; and the breathtaking Zhongshan Park.
Equaling the sceneries’ ability to draw in tourists are Xiamen’s culinary offerings. The city boasts of an extensive array of food ranging from delectable traditional Chinese dishes to international fare. It is famous for its seafood - including lobsters and abalones — and for a traditional dish called Wall-Jump Buddha, which is cooked with over 30 ingredients.
