To say the very least I am was disappointed with the livery of

the first new Thai Airways A380 when it was rolled out of the

paint shop last week.

I understood that the aircraft would be adorned in traditional

Thai artistry as featured on the country's Disco buses,

complete with a large pair of knockers, dazzling lights and

deafening sound system.

The interior of the aircraft is now being fitted out to Thai's high

standards, with worn seating, and an unworkable in-flight

entertainment system. The two decks of the aircraft will

each feature their own 7-11 outlet and the wider aisles

will allow somtan carts to roam up and down(the wrong way).

Special care has also been taken to equip the bathrooms

with modern footprints-in-the-snow toilets.

Having spent several Sunday afternoons in my Singapore (Changi Village) hotel room (working) whilst looking out of the window watching all manner of aircraft land at Changi airport, I stand by my assertion that, whatever the paint job, the A380 is one ugly piece of engineering.

Smooth flight though.

One presumes Ladyboys will be in the crew and King Power will be running the duty free trolley's?

I don't care what colour it is as long as the price to fly on it is right when exiting Thailand (faint hope).

Should have called it the BUFF 2

It may be ugly Crossy but have you been on one?? they are lovely and quiet to fly in, economy seats are nice and wide. and Business is a dream with 100% lie lfat beds staggered so you never have a neghbour. I use Emirates a lot to the Uk and have travelled on it many times in Business and Economy.

Nice big buffet at the back of Business and nice seating area too, firstclass actually has showers.

Heres my photo from a recent trip, great on board cameras too

That's Thai Air? Have they changed their interior colour scheme?

Crossy you say the a380 is ugly but what a fantastic piece of enginering fully loaded 520 tonnes that takes some skill to get it airborne , also i have flown on the 380 with emirates fantastic no other word comes near.

I think we all know a girl like that, ugly as a pig but truly lovely on the inside.

Umm... read the post; that is the inside of an Emirates pig.

My guess is that they will deliver your sorry ass to the destination, fancy paint job or not.

Looks can be deceiving. The A380 is an incredible machine to fly in. Economy seats have a minimum of an extra 2 inches of space frontwards.

Maybe today, but 747's used to have piano bars in them (at least according to the ads from the first few years).

Once the initial hype wears off, the airlines will quietly move the seats closer together to get more cattle into the car...

I love the A380. Great piece of engineering work.

Check out the new competition for the A380..........The Boeing 797, can carry 1,000 passengers, but good luck getting a window seat.

I also like these 'concepts' ...

Bit worried about Thai airways since their excellent President was illegally booted out by the largely government appointed board (because he dared to reduce their salaries). He was instrumental in TA's recent recovery and upgrades (including the A380), and finally getting rid of the old cabins in the remaining 747's. So now we will see less improvements and lower standards

Actually, all that you describe is the interior design - which is up to each airline. If EK has 180-degree reclining seats, it does not follow that TG will have the same. Regardless of the aircraft type.

I just don't want to be the last on off a 500 passenger aircraft. Need to be in business class on a plane with that many passengers.

Looks like std Thai paint job to me.Nothing wrong with that.
