Passengers in search of the high life in the east coast resort city of Pattaya are now boarding a decommissioned A330 “plane café” with its own boarding passes.
Visitors sup in-flight beverages drinking in their first class surroundings, pose for selfies with mock cabin cases on standby and head to the front of the fuselage to take command in the cockpit.
Meanwhile, Thai Airways have adapted their hub into a “plane café”, delighting flightless passengers with a taste of aviation cuisine as attentive cabin crew transport spaghetti carbonara and Thai-style beef to your seat on authentic airline tableware.
