Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have come to a fore, and the Thai government has urged its nationals to return to the country, THAI Airways has confirmed that it will not stop Cambodia services.

Border skirmishes which are believed to have killed and wounded soldiers on both sides have heightened the strain between the two countries, but despite this, THAI will continue to operate its Bangkok and Phnom Penh services.

“THAI’s office in Phnom Penh is open for business and all flights to and from Phnom Penh continue to provide normal services and operations to passengers,” said Apinan Sumanaseni, THAI President, in a statement.

“THAI stands ready to support the government’s request for air transportation on this routing if needed.”

TG696/7 and TG698/9 dailies will operate uninterrupted.

Border skirmishes have taken place between the two countries for decades now as the two countries both lay claim to the Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO recognised World Heritage site.

Although it bears Thai Airways, but 80% of its ownership is from Japan. The Sovanapumi airport also borrows money from JBIC (the Japanese Development Bank).

No longer use Thai Airways, especially somethng that bearing Thai name.

Singapore Airline, Cathay Pacific, Asianair, Evaair, etc.

You can do it.

Good, the last thing that the Japanese needed is fake khmers to contaminate their new planes.

I pass by Taiwan to reach Cambodia. Real soon Thai Airway will carry only Thai passenger. Not good for the business.

Don't fly with any Thai plane company, thru any thai airport, to have any vacation in thai land or to be hospitalised in BKK and stop using thai food product. There are plenty of products from other countries, air ports, vacation place in Malaysia, Singapore, etc and air companies which are not thai. Thai is the one who lose not khmer if they keep grabbing our land this way.
