As of October 24, every Saturday, a Thai Vietjet flight departs Bangkok at 11.30am and lands in Bodh Gaya after a three-hour journey. The return flight on the same day departs at 2.10pm and touches down in Bangkok at 6.40pm (all local times).
With this new route, Thai Vietjet will create opportunities for followers of Buddhism and monks as well as residents and guests of Vietnam and Thailand to travel easily and affordably between Bangkok and Bodh Gaya. Flights can be snapped up for VND8 million (US$366/ THB13,000) including taxes/fees, 7kgs of hand-carriage luggage and 15kgs of check-in luggage.
Vietjet is launching a daily promotion, “It’s 12pm, Let’s Vietjet” from noon till 2pm there are thousands of low-fare tickets to more than 25 destinations within Vietnam and more than 10 destinations across Asia up for grabs.
Thai Vietjet operated this same route from Bangkok to Bodh Gaya during Vietnam’s Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday. Thai Vietjet also offered this flight service on the occasion of a ground-breaking ceremony held to celebrate the renovation of the Venuvan monastery in Bodh Gaya.
Thai Vietjet has also operated successful charter flights from Bangkok to tourism destinations in Central Vietnam such as Hue and Danang (Hoi An) for a number of sight-seeing and holiday tours.
Founded in Bangkok in late 2014, Thai Vietjet has been warmly welcomed by the Thai aviation industry and Thai people thanks to its fun style and premium services, which correspond with Thai people’s innate friendliness and graciousness.
