of Phuket, in Southern Thailand.
The

from Bangkok depart at 08:40, 15:35 and 19:35 arriving in Phuket roughly
1 hour and 20 minutes later. The return flights leave Phuket at 10:35,
17:25 and 21:25.
Nok

737-400 aircraft in a 149 seat configuration.
Nok
Air currently flies to 5 destinations in Thailand including Phuket,
Chiang Mai, Udon Thani, Hat Yai and Phitsanulok. Sehapan Chumsai,
Executive Vice President Marketing for Nok Air, said
the airline was concentrating on its existing routes but did comment that
it is also looking at launching an
International service, hopefully to China sometime in 2005.
