Intercontinental Airline” in the Norwegian Grand Travel Award 2011. For the
seventh consecutive year Thai Airways International in Norway has won this

The 16th Annual Grand Travel Award was attended by
leading travel agencies and key decision makers in the travel trade. A
travel trade jury elected the nominees, and the voting was by random
selection from more than 400 travel agents all over Norway.
Pricha Nawongs, THAI general manager for Denmark and
Norway, received the award on behalf of THAI at the ceremony in Oslo on
January 6. “I am honored and very proud on behalf of all the THAI staff to
receive this award,” Pricha Nawongs said. “Since the route between Oslo and
Bangkok was established in June 2009, the support from the Norwegian travel
trade has been amazing. We have now increased to daily flights between Oslo
and Bangkok; and from there further on to THAI’s many destinations in Asia,
Australia and New Zealand. The award will encourage us to work even harder
in the Norwegian market,” he added.
In the category “Best Tourist Country”, Thailand was the
clear winner, once again, from more than ten countries nominated. Nalinee
Pananon, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand in Scandinavia, received
the award on behalf of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
