Thai Smile is attracted to the city by the increasing number of Thai nationals travelling to Taiwan following Taiwan’s granting of visa-free privileges to Thai visitors. Before the inauguration flight, Thai Smile and THAI also signed a cooperation agreement with Taiwan High-Speed Rail Corp providing passenger with service to its 12 stations. THAI and Thai Smile see much potential for Kaohsiung to become a popular tourist spot for Thai tourists. They could choose to fly with Thai Smile from Kaohsiung International Airport or with THAI from Taipei. Tzu-Wen Tseng, director general, Tourism Bureau of Kaohsiung City, said the number of Thais to Taiwan has increased thanks to the visa-free scheme.
