THAI Airways’ newest low-cost venture, Thai Smile Air (www.thaismileair.com) is scheduled to have its inaugural flight on Jul 7 to its first (and currently its only) destination—Macau. Meant to compete with regional giant Air Asia, Thai Smile Air’s introductory prices to the gambling island start from B6,230 roundtrip, inclusive of taxes and surcharge—slightly cheaper than Air Asia, except when they have those fire-sale promotions. Furthermore, they won’t keep you starving as there will be a snack box for every passenger. Thai Smile Air will start flying to Krabi and Suratthani in August, and Phuket and Chiang Mai in September.
