THAI Sponsors Australian Society of Travel Writers Trip to Thailand

Thai Airways International is again the major airline sponsor of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) as they visit Bangkok for their Annual General Meeting during 21-23 August 2009.

THAI e-tickets have been issued to 96 travel writers, journalists, photographers and travel editors with THAI providing special discounted airfares for all delegates to travel to Bangkok.

ASTW Public Relations members and family / guests of the travel writers were also able to take advantage of special discounted fares provided by THAI.

THAI also sponsored 2 special ‘Peek Behind The Scenes @ THAI’ experiences for delegates arriving into Bangkok ahead of the main AGM programme.

The first programme is a THAI ‘Flying Experience’ offering writers the chance to ‘fly’ one of THAI’s state-of-the-art flight simulators at THAI’s Head Office in Bangkok under the watchful guidance of one of THAI’s Flight Training Captains.

The second programme is a ‘hands-on’ ‘Cooking With THAI’ experience arranged by THAI’s Catering Department at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok International Airport.

Many of the delegates are planning to extend their stay beyond the AGM programme and explore different areas of Thailand either with pre-arranged itineraries to the north and south – or individually by special arrangements with local suppliers and operators.

THAI’s General Manager for Australia, Mr Korakot Chatasingha said, “The importance of this group of travel media visiting Thailand right now cannot be under-estimated as destinations across the region compete aggressively for the attention of Australian travelers. Thailand and THAI will be well-supported as a result of this event. THAI is very proud to be the major host airline of this important event.”
