Having to fly several times a month to Pattaya (via BKK) I thought I would give Kan Air a try yesterday and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
First U Tapoo, this has none of the comforts of Swampy – read lounge for BKK Air – so that is one let-down but it does make that up in so far as very few people at U Tapao and no long walks.
The plan was 45 mins late in departing (the usual late incoming) but the driver made up time and we arrived just 25 mins late – this lateness may be their achilles heel as trying to pack in too many fights per day.
I believe it was an ATR 72 (looked quite new) but there was only 14 passengers so we had plenty of space and the (2) stewardess’s were both very efficient and helpful.
The big surprise was the food, a choice of 2 main dishes and at a standard to put many international carries to shame !
Overall the flight was smooth and I would not hesitate to use them again however without more passengers using the service they cannot continue from an economic standpoint.

Was The Food " Free ' Or do they charge for it ??

Maybe they will cut back on the flights to compensate for lack of passengers and interested also re the food options

Som Tam with sticky rice or som tam without sticky rice

The food was free and as I mentioned to a high standard - the Thai I was traveling with was impressed. A small point but for my choice the rice was kept separate from the meat so as not to allow the rice to get soggy(?) from the sauce - a small detail but it impressed me.
I agree they may well cut back if people do not use it which would be sad but, but if not many travel to Pattaya/Rayong then...

Thanks for that,must admit Kan air seem to have got their act together,seeing a farang this weekend who drives to patters a lot for sailing,any price savings will interest him and no more driving hopefully

TW has used 3 times now and we support the positive notes but yes the under utilisation is the issue. 11 on flight on Monday from UD...can't see it lasting but it should!

now that you probably checked the web site to have answered that query you would also have answered your own question and know how much for food and how much free baggage?

I'll be using Kan air for my occasional visits to me mate at Ban Chang, that drive is painful.
