This summer, visitors to Thailand will have an exciting new way to fly to its celebrated beaches and tropical islands. Operating from bases in Bangkok and Phuket, Siam Seaplane will offer scenic and charter flights aboard an eight-passenger Cessna Grand Caravan EX with plush white-leather seats and ample legroom. With a flying range of up to 90 minutes, guests will be able to escape with ease to remote luxury resorts in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea, kicking back on tranquil Koh Kood and exploring renowned dive sites such as Koh Lipe in the Tarutao Marine Park. It’s a bold initiative that chimes with our post-pandemic desire for travel that is safe, private, sustainable and experientially rich. The only infrastructure a seaplane needs is water and its environmental impact is minimal, with all-electric versions currently in development. Seaplanes are also tremendous fun with their private terminal departure and ability to fly low and spot whales and dolphins. Having the option also to land on a runway or beside a dock, their flexibility returns us to a golden age of carefree air travel when you can fly where you fancy with the utmost splash and dash (siamseaplane.com)
