Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said the airline is ecstatic to be flying Bangkok-Can Tho, an important addition to its network in Vietnam. The route will link Thailand and Vietnam’s economic centres and add a convenient way for Vietnamese travellers to connect to the rest of Asean region.

“Can Tho should prove an interesting destination for Thai travellers looking for new experiences with its riverside lifestyle and floating market right at the mouth of the Mekong River. A direct connection from Thailand to Can Tho will make travel much more convenient for both Thai and foreign tourists,” Mr. Santisuk said.
