Perhaps Thai Airways could come up with something similar to fill those aircraft.

Thai Airways A-go go perhaps ?... , all passengers will be greeted with "you haaansum man"

[noahvail]

Meh - too boring. I shut it off after 20 seconds.

[fred2007]

I read the story but unfortunately don't get a pic to view but I am not interestet in naked sheep anyway

I guess THAI should lower theyr fares to compete

[Datsun240Z]

" Perhaps" they could starting with lowering the prices?

I knew someone with your experience Soutpeel would be able to improve on the Air NZ idea

I'm no Adonis, but at at least i wouldn't inflict my naked body on unsuspecting people. If you have flown TG lately, would you really want to see the matrons or the effeminate males naked?

[harrry]

A few of Thai Airways staff may be able to get away with it but definitely not all of them please.

[warriors]

Well Air N.Z. got what it wanted over 1million hits allready on I tube free advertising and great brand awareness for its carrier. Well done Air New Zealand.

Virgi would have tried it but they had dificulty finding enough virgins over 18

[Brigante7]

Every flight I have been on has used the exact same safety procedure's so why do airline staff get arsey if you don't sit and watch them demonstrate something that you have seen 100 times? I apreciate that there may well be first time flyers who haven't seen it and fair enough but when staff talked to you like you are a 10 year old and not ask you but tell you to watch the demonstration why should we?

Booring video...nothing is even remotely shown.

A Dutch airline captain did it another way last time, he emptied the whole god_damn plane and flew it back empty to Turkey, because the people did not want to listen to the safety video and the stewardesses request to sit down and buckle up for take off. This was RyanAir at AMS.

I'm sure those passengers got the message: BEHAVE AND LISTEN

[LongThaimer]

MISLEADING ......

THEY WERE STRIPPED ALRIGHT BUT THE HEADLINE DIDN'T SAYS THEY WOULD BE FULL BODY PAINTED .....

[submaniac]

There was only one physically attractive one in the entire video. Though you did get to see her butt in the end.

[Birdman]

They wanted to start with nudists charter flights last year:

but it was cancelled because of moral issues:

Not RyanAir, but Arkefly. The captain returned the plane to the terminal and had the airplane evacuated by the police after about 10 passengers refused to sit down AND the hostesses did not seem willing or capable to identify any of the culprits (they did not even remember the seat numbers). He then decided to fly back empty. Most passengers could continue their trip one day later. Arkefly is now facing massive claims. Collective punishment is against the law in the Netherlands in the first place. Innocent people have been punished.

I guess you would sing another tune if you had been one of the innocent passengers.

I know that this thread is tongue-in-cheek, but as is often the case I wonder just what some of the posters here know about Thai culture?

How many Thai people are comfortable getting their gear off in a changing room, or a even a bedroom, for that matter? Let alone on a video for public viewing.

The sincere expat poster knows that. And the fact that it will not change in the future. But it is a good example to show Thais what is going on in the minds of other people on this planet (in this case the national airline of a Western nation) and how they are doing things. That does not mean that Thais should do that, it's up to them.

Clever marketing.  Certainly not titillating, but it did bring about a smile.  (I am writing about the "Nothing to hide" ad campaign.  I could not open the flight safety brief.)
