Travellers stop for coffee - 25th September 2020

The pandemic is stopping people flying. There is no travel between lots of countries. Now, Thailand has “plane cafes”. “Plane cafés” give people a travel experience.

Pattaya is a seaside town. It has a new café on an old plane. Customers get on the plane with a flight ticket.

They drink coffee on the plane. They take photos with suitcases. And they can sit in the pilot’s seat.

Thai Airways has a special café too. They have a menu of aeroplane food. The food is on plastic plates. The waiters are cabin crew.

Thailand stopped all travel into the country. There aren’t many people with Covid-19 here. The government wants travel to start again. It is planning travel links with other countries with low Covid rates.

But at the moment, you can only have the food.
