The first primetime direct flight between Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, and Bangkok, capital of Thailand, will open from July 11.

Operated by China Southern Airlines, the flight will take off every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Flight CZ8369 will depart from Guiyang at 3:50 pm and arrive in Bangkok at 5:50 pm local time. Flight CZ837 will return from Bangkok at 7:05 pm and arrive at Guiyang at 11:10 pm local time.

According to a staff member at China Southern Airlines, “the flight will improve the airline network between Guizhou and Southeast Asia, and also provide various choices for outbound travel, which is meaningful for the economic, travel, and cultural exchanges between Guizhou and Thailand, as well as Southeast Asia.”

The flight will be operated by a Boeing 737-800, which is also the same airplane with the world's first batik coating adopted by China Southern Airlines.

In addition, China Southern Airlines offers diversified self-guided tours for individual travelers to make the trip more comfortable and smooth. Tourists can log on to the official website www.csair.com or its official app to learn more.
