bino Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 How do you know that they were foreign citizens? Did you actually ask / speak to them? Maybe they are "Luk kreung" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twschw Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Did they look like this? One of Thailands more famous "Luk kreung". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiondell4 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I heard her speak with a UK Accent over the microphone. Has anyone else seen her on NOK AIR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I heard her speak with a UK Accent over the microphone. Does that prove that she is from the UK? Maybe she went to school there. Maybe her father (or mother) is from there. Lots of ways for a person to learn / pick up the accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Nok Air has a short term contract with some European company to provide crews during the high season (I think up to April). This was a trial and a cheap way to add staff during a busy period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I flew 6 Feb Udon-Bangkok on Nok Air, brand new B737/800 and the purser was most definitely British (male farang English speaking with a strange non-Thai accent) TV, the sceptic web board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siam2007 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 this is called "wet-leasing" in the airline business. NOK wet-leased an entire aircraft including Pilots and purser for the high-season in the kingdom from the british "XL-Airline". such thing is very much common all over the world. full information can be found here (hope its ok to post the URL): http://www.bahtsold.com/news?id=302 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishbri Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I heard her speak with a UK Accent over the microphone.Has anyone else seen her on NOK AIR? I flew from Bkk to Chiang Mai 2 weeks ago with NOK Air and there was two, most definitely UK, women hostesses working. I know, as i spoke to them both, so you are not imagining phantom farangs. Sorry i cant help with what visa's they have though. I should have asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
