BANGKOK Thai Vietjet has further expanded its flight network with a new service connecting Nakhon Si Thammarat, an administrative centre of southern Thailand and the famous destination of Chiang Mai in the north.

On Monday, the maiden flights VZ420 from Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport to Chiang Mai International Airport and VZ421 in return offered big surprises for passengers on board, including a live music performance of the cabin crew and lucky draw to win complimentary air tickets.
