Early bird flight to Phuket

Thai Smile will add an early morning flight from Bangkok to Phuket, four days a week, effective 2 July.

The early bird flight will depart Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport at 0635 and arrive in Phuket at 0755 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The return flight will depart Phuket at 0855 and arrive in Bangkok at 1020.

At the same time, last year, the airline increased its Bangkok-Phuket services from five to seven daily giving it 49 flights weekly. Now it is adding four more weekly services raising the weekly count to 53.

The 0635 early bird flight will make it more convenient for passengers who need to connect with the first flight to Phuket. The earliest departure from Bangkok on a Thai Smile flight is currently 0920.

Thai Smile operates out of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport using Airbus A320s.

Owned by Thai Airways International, the airline acts as a feeder carrier on domestic routes that THAI no longer serves, but the two airlines offer parallel services to Phuket and Chiang Mai.

THAI’s first Phuket-bound flight departs at 0740 from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport.

THAI’s timetable information identifies 10 flights daily to Phuket using a three digit flight designator that distinguish services from codeshare flights that use Thai Smile (four digit designator).
