To kick off the return portion of my two-part birthday trip to the Golden Triangle, we flew Thai Airways’ Airbus A320 business class on the 70-minute flight from Chiang Rai (CEI) to Bangkok (BKK).
On the outbound, we lucked out and had a flight operated by the Airbus A321neo, which features flat beds, and is intended primarily for international routes. Meanwhile the A320s are Thai Airways’ domestic workhorse aircraft, so I appreciated the opportunity to compare these two experiences.
Thai Airways actually only recently reconfigured its A320s to get modern cabins and proper business class seats, given that these planes previously flew for subsidiary Thai Smile (which was discontinued).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
