Thai Smile Airways (Thai Airways International’s daughter airline) will launch direct daily flights from Bangkok to Luang Prabang later in October. According to ground handling services, the flight should commence on 30 October following an introduction this month of a second daily flight from Bangkok to Laos’ capital, Vientiane.
Thai Airways International’s services to neighbouring countries Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, have been transferred to Thai Smile.
Using a fleet of A320s, Thai Smile will fly daily to Luang Prabang, departing Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport at 08:45 and arriving in Luang Prabang at 10:20. The return flight will depart Luang Prabang at 11:20 and arrive in Bangkok at 12:55.
Currently, Thai AirAsia flies daily to Luang Prabang from Don Mueang International Airport, and Lao Airlines also flies daily on this Luang Prabang route. Bangkok Airways will resume daily flights to Luang Prabang just one day after Thai Smile, on 1 November, from its Bangkok Suvarnabhumi base.
We have a fixed rate agreement with Lao Airlines, and the schedule (until March 2023) for specific flights between Laos and Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam can be viewed below.
