In my earlier post Thailand Tourism Bargains I wrote about the sad state of affairs concerning Thailand tourism and steps that the Thailand tourism authority and Thailand travel agents were going to start taking to get the tourists back.

It didn’t take Thai Air long to roll out it’s first incentive to get tourists back. Thai Air’s Amazing Award Seat Sale starts January 1st 2009 and ends March 31st 2009. For anyone that has been to Thailand a few times on Thai Air, like me, the award points you have amassed could save you a cool 20% on standard award mileage requirements.

You have to book round trip tickets and take your trip between January 1st and March 31st 2009. Bookings can be made online at  www.thaiairways.com/rop or at any local Thai office. If you are in Thailand you can call the Thailand Contact Center at 0 2356 1111. This offer is good for every Thai air destination except Copenhagen and Stockholm.

This represents some decent savings if you have Thai Air awards points saved up, and for me it looks like a free trip to thailand is on my horizon.
