Air Shuttle Service in Thailand

SGA (Siam General Aviation’s) newly-launched Bangkok to Hua Hin air shuttle service now offers visitors to Thailand the option of flying between their arrival airport at Bangkok and Hua Hin in only 40 minutes, reducing travel time within the country by two hours. 

Hua Hin is currently one of Thailand’s hotspots in terms of tourism and property investment due to a well established tourist infrastructure, while the shuttle service will entice ever growing numbers of affluent international travelers to the area.

This shuttle echoes a general mood of improved tourist facilities in Thailand as a whole, while last year alone, in the aftermath of the Tsunami disaster, some 12 million tourists visited Thailand, boosting the tourist economy and greatly increasing investment potential in areas such as Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin and Koh Samui.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said, "This year the target is 13.8 million and 79.3 million domestic trips, which together should generate about US$20 billion [Bt756.7 billion]."  This year Thailand is hosting the 55th annual meeting of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) which unites tourism ministers from eleven countries, to discuss travel trends in the Asia Pacific region.
In a recent report, the TAT governor states that Thailand's tourism sector has grown enormously and in the first quarter of this year, arrivals were up by 37 per cent in January, 30 per cent in February and 20 per cent in March.
