Vietjet Thailand Teams Up with TAT to Launch Major Promotion: 30% Discount on Flights to Secondary Cities

Vietjet Thailand and the Tourism Authority of Thailand are offering 30% flight discounts to secondary cities like Nakhon Si Thammarat, Khon Kaen, Chiang Rai, and Hat Yai through May 31, with travel permitted May 6–September 30.

28 Apr Khaosod

Travel enthusiasts should not miss this! Vietjet Thailand partners with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to roll out the "Green Travel, Full Satisfaction" campaign, offering 30% discounts on airfares for Bangkok to secondary city routes. The promotion aims to encourage Thai travelers to visit during the low season and revitalize the tourism economy across the country.

On April 28, 2025, Pinyon Phibulsongkram, Vice President of Commerce and Customer Relations at Vietjet Thailand, revealed that while the tourism industry is crucial to Thailand's economy, current geopolitical conditions have impacted consumer spending power, causing tourism to slow as travelers become more budget-conscious.

Vietjet Thailand, committed to providing affordable and accessible travel for all passengers, is launching the "Green Travel, Full Satisfaction with Vietjet" campaign to promote travel to secondary cities during the low season. This supports the Tourism Authority of Thailand's initiatives to promote secondary tourism destinations while spreading income to local communities and supporting sustainable growth throughout the year.

Under this campaign, Vietjet Thailand is offering 3,000 discounted one-way or round-trip tickets on four secondary city routes: Bangkok-Nakhon Si Thammarat, Bangkok-Khon Kaen, Bangkok-Chiang Rai, and Bangkok-Hat Yai.

Passengers can enter the code "TAT30" to receive a 30% discount (excluding taxes, fees, and add-ons) when booking on th.vietjetair.com or the Vietjet Thailand app from today until May 31, 2025. Travel dates must fall between May 6 and September 30, 2025 (excluding public holidays and long weekends).

Secondary city tourism has emerged as a high-potential growth trend, driven by travelers prioritizing budget management, avoiding crowded peak-season destinations, and seeking new travel experiences, particularly nature-based and religious tourism sites. Vietjet Thailand continues to expand its route network connecting major and secondary cities while partnering with government agencies, private sector, and local communities to promote "Unseen Thailand," reinforcing the airline's role in advancing Thailand's tourism industry sustainably.

Buriram Embroidery Shop Owner Calls on Government to Reconsider Tiered Electricity Rate Increase for Users Exceeding 400 Units

A Buriram embroidery shop owner is calling on the government to reconsider tiered electricity rates for businesses exceeding 400 units monthly, arguing the policy unfairly penalizes small operators whose consumption fluctuates seasonally wi

28 Apr Khaosod

On April 28, 2025, operators of an embroidery shop and document printing service in Nang Rong District, Buriram Province, appealed to the government to reconsider the new tiered electricity rate structure for businesses consuming over 400 units per month. The shop experiences peak electricity demand only during the school opening period when work volume is high, but during school closures when business slows, consumption drops below 400 units while revenue simultaneously declines. The business operators argue this new rate structure is unfair and places an unfair burden on business owners by raising the per-unit electricity cost, especially during economic hardship.

While supporting the government's policy to reduce electricity costs for residents using no more than 200 units, the operators contend that this burden should not be shifted to small businesses, particularly during periods of economic downturn when livelihoods are already strained and income is shrinking. They urge the government to reconsider this approach.

Trisit Tiaprasit, owner of the embroidery shop and document printing service located in front of Nang Rong City Shrine within Nang Rong Municipality, disclosed that his shop has consistently used more than 400 units monthly, but this month saw a reduction due to the school closure period when work diminished significantly and machinery and electrical equipment remained largely unused, causing revenues to drop proportionally.

He emphasized that the government should reconsider this measure, as some small businesses only consume high electricity during active work periods, while using less than 400 units during slow seasons, yet would still face the higher rate structure. This appears unjust to business owners. Rather than imposing rate increases, he suggested the government seek cooperation through awareness campaigns promoting alternative energy sources like solar panels, though he acknowledged that the current economic situation makes business owners reluctant to invest in additional infrastructure.
