Thai AirAsia also operates thrice weekly flights between Chiang Mai (CNX) in northern Thailand and Taipei on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The airline launched the CNX-TPE route on 15 December 2022.

“Since AirAsia introduced the Chiang Mai-Taipei route, we have received a constant stream of requests to add Bangkok-Taipei as the capital of Taiwan is an attractive tourism destination with an array of dining, shopping and sights, including many Michelin awarded restaurants at reasonable prices. With travellers able to visit Taipei without the need for a visa or quarantine, it has quickly become a top destination of choice,” said Santisuk Klongchaiya, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Thailand. “AirAsia is ready to serve Don Mueang-Taipei with convenient morning direct flights rather than overnight departures. Most importantly, passengers will be flying with an airline that prioritises on-time performance, great value and that has won ‘World’s Best Low Cost Airline’ from Skytrax for 13 years in a row. We are confident Don Mueang-Taipei will be an attractive choice for tourists.”

Thai AirAsia opened BKK-TPE ticket sales on Monday, 19 December 2022.
