Nok Air, a Thailand based low cost airline, has signed an agreement with Krung Thai Bank to allow passengers with a Krung Thai Bank account to be able to pay for tickets at any of Krung Thai Bank's ATM machines nationwide.

“One of our main goals at Nok Air has always been to make flying as easy as possible for all Thais,” said Patee Sarasin, CEO of Nok Air. “Many people are not used to  buying airline tickets, or even afraid of it, but we are working to make it as simple as possible for them, and working with Krung Thai Bank is a big part of that. Nok Air has done research and studies of consumer behavior and realized that one of the most important keys to reach out to the potential customers is to penetrate their daily lifestyles, and ATM's are a part of that penetration.”

“A large number of the Thai population, at one point, has used ATM machines to pay their electricity or phone bills. Therefore, when looking for an easy payment point as part of our distribution systems, Krung Thai Bank ATM machines made perfect sense. Nok Air customers with Krung Thai Bank accounts will be able to pay at any of the 1,100 Krung Thai Bank ATM machines nationwide” said Patee. “When purchasing a Nok Air ticket, customers will be able chose the method of payment that is most convenient for them, and Krung Thai Bank ATM is one option we are certainly very excited about” concluded Patee.
