SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS
THAI AIRWAYS DELIVERS HOSPITALITY FROM THE HEART WHILE CELEBRATING THE RICH CULTURE OF ITS HOME COUNTRY.
Whether you’re flying in or out of Thailand, one airline ensures that travelers are immersed in the magic of the Southeast Asian kingdom at 30,000 feet. From smiling flight attendants in colorful silk uniforms offering a warm welcome, to mood music and authentic local flavors at mealtime, the Thai Airways experience encapsulates a distinctive Thai outlook through all six senses: sight, smell, sound, taste, touch, and feeling from the heart.
From its hub at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thai Airways serves 47 international destinations around the world, including seven in Europe. The Star Alliance member delivers enjoyable long-haul journeys at affordable prices. For even more comfort, the free-to-join Royal Orchid Plus loyalty program promises a range of benefits: gold and platinum members are eligible for lounge access and the option to pre-select their meals. Complementing the Thai food served on board, premium passengers will get to sip on highquality wines sourced from Italian, French, and New World producers, all selected by international sommeliers through blind tastings.
Part of the airline’s ongoing efforts to support local businesses is a partnership with the Doi Tung development project to bring its sustainably sourced coffee to the world. Flyers will savor the aroma of the Black Silk Blend created exclusively for the airline, using beans grown at 1,200 meters above sea level in Chiang Rai. This special blend is served in Royal First and Royal Silk classes aboard flights departing Thailand for Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Europe.
Thai Airways’ inflight magazine, Sawasdee, has recently evolved into a digital source of travel inspiration. The curated lineup of stories delves into topics like regional gastronomy, avant-garde cocktail bars in Bangkok, places to stay and heritage sites to visit, and up-and-coming local designers. Thai Airways has also rolled out an e-library of digitized newspapers and magazines in its airport lounges, with an array of titles offered in languages such as English, Chinese, French, and German.
Passengers who wish for the same standard of service on the ground can look to the airline’s tour company arm, Royal Orchid Holidays. Serving customers since 1969—eight years after Thai Airways came onto the scene—it designs customized itineraries for leisure and business travelers bound for any destination within Thai Airways’ global route network.
