reader Posted July 9 Posted July 9 From Bangkok Post State-run bus operator Transport Co will launch bus services to three major airports run by Airports of Thailand (AoT) to allow easier travel to destinations in other provinces. Transport Co said the company has a plan to operate interprovincial buses services from Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang and Phuket airports, and set up ticketing offices at the airports. The services are expected to start towards the end of the year. The buses will serve mainly principal cities, tourism hotspots, and some secondary provinces, including Pattaya, Chanthaburi, Trat, Nakhon Ratchasima and Hua Hin district. According to the company, the services will boost tourist arrivals, which in turn will increase economic activities in the provinces, which is in line with the government's goal to revitalise local economies. The AoT suggested that Transport Co start with a bus service from Phuket airport to Khao Lak, a popular seaside area in neighbouring Phangnga. Quote
