InterContinental hotel to offer BKK to Hua Hin flights

[buksida]

This comes from AsiaTravelTips.com, apparently a new service using the hotel's privately owned plane from Swampy to HH in 35 minutes:

9,000 baht a head is hardly good value when these guys will fly you to Singapore for less than a fifth of that!!!

It wouldn't be in my budget, but I suppose some of the Intercontinentals customers might consider that to be a reasonable deal and actually for an air taxi it is not that expensive.

The luxurious InterContinental Hua Hin Resort has become the first hotel in Hua Hin to launch its own private air service to shuttle guests from Bangkok to the beachside city.

The exclusive service departs from either Suvarnabhumi International Airport or Don Muaeng Airport direct to Hua Hin before a resort limousine whisks guests away for the ten-minute drive for check in.

The InterContinental Hua Hin Resort has quickly established new benchmarks for luxury in the historical town on the shores of the Gulf of Siam and General Manager, Pattama Yoshimura, said the eight-seat Cessna Grand Caravan would raise the bar in Thailand towards opulent, yet convenient, services.

The plane flies in InterContinental livery and has a full-time crew on permanent standby to make the 35-minute flight between Bangkok and Hua Hin at a moment’s notice.

“Right from the conceptualisation stage of this resort, we have always strived to set new benchmarks in services we can offer to guests and we think that a private plane service is very hard to beat,” Ms Yoshimura said.
