Bangkok Airways (www.bangkokair.com) just got the green light to become the first foreign carrier to fly to the Myanmar capital, Naypyitaw. Starting from this Sep 30, the airline will operate direct flights three days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) from Suvarnabhumi Airport using its 70-seat ATR72 aircraft. Ticket prices haven’t been revealed yet, so you’ve still got time to research this still relatively new capital, which CNN has listed as one of the ten fast growing cities in the world. And in another sign of our near-neighbor growing prosperity, Bangkok Airways will also increase the frequency of its flights to Yangon from three daily to four, from Oct 27.
