This is the first of three leisure-themed liveries evoking Thailand’s beaches & underwater world. The airline added its first jet in 2000 and this was the start of a new era: Bangkok Air’s immediate take on special and colourful liveries played an important role in the international recognition of the brand, primarily targetting tourists visiting Thailand’s hotspots. Note that HS-PGL sadly crash-landed at Surat Thani/Koh Samui on August 4th, 2009.
