Surat-Bangkok Flight Runs Out of Liquor, Passengers Finish Alcohol Worth 70,000 Baht


Recommended Posts

"The Medical Association of Surat would like to welcome all the heavy drinkers on the flight to our medical facilities to treat your livers and kidneys." 😁 Ignorance about the effects of alcohol consumption on the body is bliss, I suppose.

   I don't think that the original headline did say that , it didn't say Surat Thani 

Yes it did and these a note about the change of the title posted in the thread

Indeed it did say that and it was changed but posts that commented on the original were left in place.

Yes, it was. I've seen that in pop-up notifications.

Did they really run out or just lock the cupboards? 🙂

Given the behaviour of groups of South Asian men on planes when confronted with 'free' alcohol, that is what I would have done.

 

Don't most flights carry WAY more than Bt70000 worth of alcohol?

China Airlines of Taiwan used to.

USD2000 is almost nothing. China Air used to provide premium brands, and all you could drink.

They whine, they cajole, they try to get as stupid drunk as possible, they negotiate, they become a real pain in the arse, they ignore anything they don't want to hear but over all

 

they continue to ask 700 more times after being told "No."

 

Easier to just bring a limited amount on board and run out quickly.

Was the booze free if not AIr India is quite happy to run out of booze.

Exactly what I wondered if selling alcahol you are probably talking of 15000 baht of stock

I have seen personally the behaviour of  Westerners when on holiday in Europe on board planes, so please spare us your condescending remarks of "South Asian" men and alcohol.

Probably what happened was they forgot to go and ask the pilots for some. They've usually got a good few bottles of whiskey in the cockpit.

I think that if they had charged in-flight alcohol prices, there'd be plenty of instances of 3 men sharing 1 gin, and asking for a discount because they brought their own cup.

I doubt that very much

Thanks for clarity. You would THINK that would be included in the article which didn't make clear even where Surat was right away in the title AND the interesting fact it's a dry state. Now it makes sense and is kind of funny. 

If you’ve been reading here much you know this isn’t exactly great literature. But that’s where the comedy comes in when they try to embellish with 1940s style phrases. Happy holidays

Great to know that we can rely on Air India to get these direct flights running - makes you wonder why Thai Airways didnt do it? Could it be they are mis managed? Look forward to more stories about the crossing - it could be a regular feature
