Belavia’s new flight program to Thailand starts in October – what is known about the upcoming season

A few weeks before the start of the new Belavia flight program in Bangkok and Phuket in Minsk, a presentation of winter Thailand was held - the profile tour operator and the host company familiarized travel agents with the features of the upcoming season. This was reported by sb.by in the Republican Union of Tourist Organizations (RSTO).

The RRT reminded us:

- The first flights Minsk – Phuket are scheduled for October 21 and 23. From October 29, regular flights Minsk – Phuket – Minsk will be operated 2 times a week. On October 25, the airline will start operating flights from Minsk to Bangkok.

During the presentation, experts noted that a direct flight is convenient primarily for recreation on the island itself, in Kao Laka and Krabi. With the advent of Bangkok, the choice becomes much wider: you can add Chang, Koh Samui and Phangan to Pattaya and the capital, combine several resorts and build combined routes in Thailand. The profile tour operator forms package tours on the guaranteed blocks of Belavia seats, and also offers individual and combined routes - for example, Pattaya - Myanmar - Bangkok. There are also tours that connect Thailand with the neighboring country: Nha Trang + Pattaya and Nha Trang + Bangkok, they allow you to see Vietnam and Thailand in one trip.

- For us, the main change of the season is the appearance of Bangkok, said Tatyana Krasnyanskaya, a specialist of the operator department of the tour operator company. – Phuket is well known to the Belarusian market, and a direct flight to the capital allows you to much freer collect routes: connect Bangkok with Pattaya, islands and excursion programs.

In turn, the representative of the host company Elena Ilyina focused on the questions that tourists ask most often, including the state of the beaches and the quality of sea water. These issues are particularly relevant for Pattaya. The cleanest and most well-kept city beach is the northern district of Pattaya, Wongamat. Not far from Pattaya (9 km, 15 minutes by ferry or speedboat) is the island of Koh Lan, the water here is turquoise and transparent, especially on the beaches of Tien and Samai.

Pattaya was presented to travel agents not only as a resort with an active nightlife, but also as a destination for family holidays with a large selection of entertainment. The tour portfolio of the host company now has 56 programs: natural routes, acquaintance with Buddhist culture, trips to the islands, programs with visits to safari parks and other options.

- Bookings for the high winter season are very active: in some popular hotels, some categories of rooms are already inaccessible, and for a number of facilities there are no places until March. Therefore, with specific requirements for a hotel, room category or family accommodation, it is risky to postpone the choice until the last weeks before departure.

Flights to Bangkok will be operated once a week, on Sundays, from October 25 to March 21. Departure from Minsk at 3:10, arrival at 17:05. Return flight at 19:05, arrival in Minsk at 1:50 the next day.

Flights to Phuket after October 21 and 23 will be organized from October 29 to March 26 twice a week: from Minsk on Thursdays and Sundays, back on Fridays and Mondays. The actual departure time should be checked in the Belavia schedule. Belarusian tourists warned about the increase in the cost of an entry visa to Egypt in 2027
