The carrier will offer four flights weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, using 144-seat Airbus A319. The direct flight takes nearly two hours.
The route has been seen as a diplomatic bridge between Vietnam and Thailand in tourism, economy and social affairs.
Flight PG994 from Cam Ranh is scheduled to land in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok later the same day.
Bangkok Airways is the first international airline to open a direct flight between Bangkok and Cam Ranh, which is the fourth destination of the carrier in Vietnam, following the launching of the air routes of Bangkok-Da Nang in May 2016, Bangkok-Phu Quoc in October 2017 and Chiang Mai-Hanoi in March 2018.
Located near the resort city of Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa province, Cam Ranh boasts pristine and mesmerising beaches that have yet to be marred by human hands.
This year, Khanh Hoa province will host the National Tourism Year themed "Nha Trang - Colours of the Sea,” with multiple culture-tourism events.
The province received 6.3 million tourists, including 2.8 million foreigners, in 2018. Its target is to welcome 8.5 million tourists, including 3.5 million foreigners, in 2020, and to earn VND70 trillion (US$3 billion) in tourism revenue.

As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.

Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
A great number of visitors have flocked to tourist attractions in Hoa Binh province in the first lunar month every year to admire the beautiful scenery, fully enjoy the spring atmosphere, and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere in many localities.
