Intrigued to see a Royal Air Maroc (RAM) B737-800 pulled up to one of the jetbridges at CNX this afternoon.

Bumped into the crew picking up their bags and asked the Captain where he had come in from. I asked if Rabat-CNX was to be a new route for RAM. He laughed and said it was a "special flight" delivering the King of Morocco for a vacation.

Wonderfully indiscreet and he didn't seem to be joking, and he added that Thailand was a popular destination for his King.

So it looks like CM has not lost all of its tourist mojo quite yet.

Sadly little chance of getting a direct flight to Morocco.

No but Bangkok isn't THAT inconvenient and its a good price to get there.

Escape Songkran to Casablanca and take it from there - good train services to Marrakesh, Rabat, drive through the Atlas mountains etc

Wonder where the King of Morocco stays in Chiang Mai?

Perhaps there is an exclusive, up market house-swap website, enabling the exchange of one palace for another in a different country.

Maybe house sitting for someone in Dubai?

Nice to have the freedom to say this eh?

Lovely idea, must check visa requirements for Thais. Did you you it or seriously planning?

I have done Morocco and a lot of Africa during my lifetime.
