Thai AirAsia (TAA) is deepening its footprint in India with the addition of two more routes from Bangkok. TAA chief executive Tassapon Bijleveld yesterday said the introduction of the two routes is aimed at attracting Indian shoppers to Thailand. Last year Thailand attracted 1.19 million Indian travellers, according to recent Department of Tourism data. For Thai travellers, Jaipur boasts the gateway to the Taj Mahal and is home to opulent architectural treasures such as the Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort and Old City Market. Tiruchirappalli offers Thai travellers the opportunity to experience culture and history that has long played a pivotal role in South India as Tamil Nadu's centre for trade, industry and education.
