Bangkok Airways is launching a promotion for “Half Price” domestic flights with a travel period of 3 April 2021 – 30 September 2021 (flights have to be booked between 3 April – 9 April 2021).
The campaign requires pre-registration which is open for just two days from today (Wednesday 24 March) after which the main booking period starts next month.
Bangkok Airways has a tight knit network of domestic destinations which of course includes the popular island destinations Koh Samui, Krabi and Phuket.
This was announced on Twitter yesterday:
The only chance to grab the best deal 'Fly with Bangkok Airways for Half Price' will start tomorrow! (24 Mar 21)
Get ready by waking up early as the registration starts from 08.00 a.m. tomorrow via https://t.co/OkirmWjHXZ

Half of your airfare is on us ! Bangkok Airways encourage FlyerBonus members to join our “Half Price” campaign, enjoying your journey at half price from normal fare.
Registration
24 March 2021 at 08.00 hrs. and until 26 March 2021 at 20.00 hrs.
Discount Validity
Booking period: 3 April 2021 (08.00 hrs) – 9 April 2021 (23.59 hrs.) at www.bangkokair.com/halfprice
Traveling period: 3 April 2021 – 30 September 2021Applicable Flight
The special offer from “Half Price” campaign is applicable to a round-trip journey and participating domestic destinations operated by Bangkok Airways only.
Campaign Eligibility
This offer is applicable for FlyerBonus Members who resides in Thailand and participate the registration to receive the privilege.
So this promotion will be for round trip flights only and is applicable to their “normal fares” whatever that means. Hopefully not that they make the web saver unavailable for booking and the discount will be based on the standard fare which would really eat up most, if not all the savings.
Right now you can already fly for very cheap between Bangkok and destinations such as Koh Samui.
Current one way fares I found ex Bangkok were:
- Koh Samui: 2,160 THB
- Krabi 1,136 THB
- Phuket 980 THB
That represents a third of pre-pandemic rates especially in the case of Koh Samui which is served by Bangkok Airways exclusively.
I was initially interested in their Flyer Pass of 4 flights at a fixed price which they advertised to sell at local travel shows held at shopping malls but as so often this was a total scam. It simply wasn’t available as it was “sold out” by midday of the first day without any additional supply.
Conclusion
I’m looking forward to this promotion and will definitely book a few flights if the offer is attractive enough. Unfortunately it’s round trip based so I can’t leave myself open to when I actually want to return without incurring a change fee.
I will write a follow up on this promotion once bookings are available and we see anything special that could be of interest.
