Introduction
This trip report is for flight undertaken in 2012. Was visiting Thailand with friends. Read trip report: Thai Air Asia HS-ABL FD3525 Singapore - Phuket
There were various exotic flight options to fly between Phuket and Bangkok like Orient Thai, unfortunately Orient Thai accepted only Thai based cards. Thai Airways was expensive, Had flown Air Asia on Singapore- Phuket route. Decided to book with Bangkok Airways as it was providing full service and my card was accepted while booking the tickets.
After spending few days in Phuket, it was time to fly to Bangkok. Arriving at the airport. Took a shared taxi to arrive at the airport.

Thanks for reading this report till next time.
I flew from Krabi to BKK in 2013 and decided to try Thai Airways A300 instead of Bangkok Airways. I'm wondering if they still offer the same saervice on domestic routes? Thanks for this nice report!
They were consistent in the service in 2012 with being: on-time, meal and customer service. Thanks for your comment.
