Thai Airways in Norway has
once again won the prestigious award for best
intercontinental airline in the Norwegian Grand Travel Award
2010.
It is the sixth consecutive year Thai Airways in Norway is
winning the award. The Grand Travel award was arranged for
the 15th time, with 18 different categories. The nominees
are elected by a travel trade jury, and the voting is done
by a random selection of more than 400 travel agents all
over Norway. The award was received by General Manager Thai
airways for Denmark and Norway, Mr. Pricha Nawongs, during
the award ceremony in Oslo on January 07th.
- I am honored to receive this
award, Mr. Nawongs said. Since the route between Oslo and
Bangkok was established in June 2009, the support from the
Norwegian travel trade have been amazing. The award will
encourage us to work harder for the norwegians, he added.
All three airline
categories were won by STAR ALLIANCE carriers; SAS as best
domestic airline, Lufthansa as best european airline and
THAI as best intercontinental airline.
Thailand was also voted for
the category best tourist country in the world. Over ten
countries were nominated, and Thailand was the clear winner

times, and was received by Director of Tourism Authority of
