Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Nai Yang Beach, hosts "Phuket Express"

Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Nai Yang Beach, recently hosted VIPs celebrating the launch of Thai Airways International's new "Phuket Express" flight from Beijing.

The national carrier's inaugural direct flight from Mainland China to Phuket, TG 685, carried approximately 300 passengers to the island, including executives from Thai Airways, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Chinese tour operators and members of the international media.

The new "Phuket Express" service provides a further boost to the island's booming tourism industry, allowing travelers from Beijing to fly non-stop to Phuket in just five hours. Flights will now operate four times a week, with departures on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays timed to match the travel patterns of individual travelers and tour groups.

As one of the closest luxury resorts to Phuket International Airport, Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Nai Yang Beach, is quickly and easily accessible for international travelers - including those flying on the "Phuket Express". It takes less than 10 minutes to transfer between the airport and the resort, giving guests more time to enjoy the resort's pristine beach and luxurious facilities.
