In response to the Government’s policy to support the conservation of Thai culture, the airline is encouraging its employees to wear traditional Thai attire every Tuesday. The company recently held the “Revival of Traditional Thai Culture” event, where employees were asked to wear traditional Thai attire to work for the entire week in an effort to promote wearing traditional Thai clothing in everyday life.

During Songkran, flight attendants will dress in traditional Thai costume from the reign of King Rama V of Thailand on 40 domestic and international flights on routes to Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Vientiane, Phnom Penh, and Yangon. The campaign continues through April 30.

THAI check-in counters at Suvarnabhumi Airport will be decorated with Northern Lanna flags while Thai scented water and fragrant white clay powder will be used in decorating the Royal First and Royal Silk lounges based on the Songkran theme. The Ground Customer Services Department also invites passengers to pour scented water over Buddha statues (a tradition called Song Nam Phra) at Premium Check-in Row A, Departure Hall, Fourth Floor, Exit One, and THAI lounges at Concourse D.

Special Thai desserts will be offered at all lounges from April 12 to 14. Rice soaked in cool water (khao chae), Mango Sticky Rice, and Mung Bean Paste (Luk Chup) are offered in the Royal First Class Lounge while pinched gold egg yolks (Thong yip), Mung Bean Paste (Luk Chup), Sticky Rice with Thai Custard, Steamed Cassava Cake, and Thai Jelly are available in the Royal Silk Class lounge, where passengers can experience Songkran and THAI hospitality.
