We have been warmly welcomed by the people of Chiang Mai who have come together to recognize the importance of our new route into Thailand’s second biggest city. I feel very confident this new route will prove fruitful for Qatar’s national flag carrier, for the people of Thailand and good for the significant tourism industry here.
