THAI and Bangkok Airways have entered a codeshare agreement which will remain effective until late October. The two airlines signed the agreement Monday. It covers 15 routes. Bangkok Airways will operate 10 domestic routes. They are Chiang Mai - Mae Hong Son; Samui - Phuket and between Bangkok and Samui, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Krabi, Lampang, Sukhothai and Trat. The airline will also operate 4 international round-trip routes between Bangkok and Danang in Vietnam, Luang Prabang in Laos, Maldives and Siem Reap in Cambodia.
