Thailand has played a key role in developing the aviation and tourism industries in the region for decades. After contributing to the rise of international tourism in Cambodia and Laos, air transport is repeating the same success in Myanmar. Consistent with Asean regulations, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam already enjoy open skies, allowing any carrier to fly passengers between designated airports. There are also plans to link Bangkok to Phu Quoc, Vietnam; Bangkok to Bagan, Myanmar; Khon Kaen to Chinese cities; and Phnom Penh to Yangon. More airports are being connected to international destinations.
