Flying with Nok Air, the Thai-blooded airline that offers more than just savings

Hello, I'm mr.hotsia. Today I will share my experience flying with Nok Air, the Thai-blooded airline that I recently had the chance to try from Don Mueang Airport, Bangkok. Nok Air is one of the low-cost airlines I recommend for Thais and travelers who want value for money but still want warm and impressive service like flying with a local airline that truly understands Thai people.

The first thing I noticed when boarding was the "smile" of the Nok Air girls. Not just an ordinary smile, but a genuine Siamese smile that feels friendly in a way you can't find with other airlines. Their Nok Air girls are cute, smile easily, and are ready to assist passengers wholeheartedly. I even asked to take a photo with them, and they smiled without hesitation. This charm really impressed me.

Above-expected onboard service

Many might think that a budget airline like Nok Air cuts all services to save costs, but that's not true. Nok Air offers small services that impressed me a lot, such as serving small snacks onboard. Compared to AirAsia, which I fly often, Nok Air allows 15 kg carry-on baggage. This advantage makes packing more comfortable without much difference in fare.

For those who like window seats like me, I recommend booking tickets through Nok Air's website and selecting seats in advance to fully enjoy the beautiful views along the way. Payment methods are also very convenient because even without a credit card, I could pay through 7-11 convenience stores using the number received via SMS easily and hassle-free.

Flying from Mae Sot to Mawlamyine, Mon State, Myanmar

The last time I flew with Nok Air, I traveled from Mae Sot, Tak Province, to Mawlamyine in Mon State, Myanmar, a newly opened route by Nok Air. It's very convenient and fast for those who want to travel abroad nearby from northern Thailand. There are also flights from Mae Sot to Yangon, suitable for travelers wanting to explore Myanmar on a budget.

This kind of travel is another convenience I like because it saves time from long road trips crossing borders or complicated connecting flights. This shows Nok Air truly understands the needs of travelers in this region and helps boost tourism between neighboring countries.

Facilities at Don Mueang Airport

For Nok Air passengers departing from Don Mueang Airport, I have good news. Nok Air offers free WiFi at the airport. Just enter the Booking number on your Boarding Pass to connect to the internet immediately. Very convenient for checking information or online check-in before the flight.

If you visit Bangkok and want to relax or have a layover at Don Mueang, don't forget to use this free WiFi service. I myself used this opportunity to update my travel plans and quickly contact people waiting to pick me up.

Nok Air vs AirAsia: Which to choose?

Many ask me which airline to choose between Nok Air and AirAsia. mr.hotsia says both have their advantages. But if you book 1-2 months in advance, Nok Air's prices are close to AirAsia's. Plus, Nok Air allows more carry-on baggage and offers snacks onboard. These are things I really like.

The seats on Nok Air are comparable to AirAsia's, which are quite narrow. But if you focus on value and friendly service, Nok Air is very worthwhile. And if you travel between Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports or vice versa, don't forget to check my informationFree shuttle between Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airportsthat I wrote before. It will make your travel much easier.

Flying with Nok Air, how to enjoy Bangkok?

If you arrive in Bangkok with Nok Air, I recommend stopping byAsiatiquethe Charoen Krung area. This is a riverside tourist and shopping spot along the Chao Phraya River. What I like most is the nighttime atmosphere with a giant Ferris wheel offering beautiful city views. There are also many great restaurants to try. For photo lovers, there are vintage Thai-style corners perfect for Facebook sharing.

If you want a comfortable stay in the city center, I recommend accommodations near Nana BTS Station, such as Amari Boulevard Hotel, which I reviewed inAsia Hanoi-Bangkokwhen I traveled back from Vietnam. It has a beautiful Bangkok city view and good value, suitable for travelers who want to stay in the city without paying too much.

Summary of flying Nok Air with mr.hotsia

Overall, flying with Nok Air made me feel like flying with a truly Thai airline that cares about passenger service and convenience. It's not just about low prices but also notable onboard service and the friendliness of staff, which is rare among typical low-cost airlines.

If you are looking for a budget airline that doesn't sacrifice smiles and good service, I, mr.hotsia, recommend trying Nok Air at least once. I guarantee you will be impressed like me!
