BIZARRE! Airplane Graveyard of Bangkok + Routes Asia 2023
ฝัง

- I visited Thai Airways restaurant in Bangkok. A lot of used airplane seats and parts turned into furniture which makes the place unique. The food price was very reasonable too. After lunch, I joined my friend Rena in showing me the airplane graveyard in Bangkok. In the middle of the city, there are 747 and MD-80 abandoned. Unfortunately, when we arrive at the graveyard, the planes were gone! They became the ghost planes of Bangkok!
Next, I followed Patee, who is launching a new airline called Really Cool Airlines to another airplane in the middle of the night market. This airplane is a L1011 Tristar from Thai Sky Airlines which I have flown on it once. It is now a restaurant and cocktail bar in the middle of ChangChui market.
Next, I visited Routes Asia 2023 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I went behind the scenes to speak with airlines, airports, and tourism authorities about their desire to reconnect in Asia and what’s new in their network strategies.
Take a look at the video with many great insights from airlines such as Finnair, Fiji Airways, STARLUX Airlines, Thai Lion Air and airports such as Melbourne Airport, Edmonton International Airport (YEG), and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority all wanting to expand their Asia presence.
The event is hosted by Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT).

the fact that you've flown on that exact plane 19 years ago is crazy 😭
which one

Hey Sam wow man that was an EPIC looking day especially the airplane graveyard and the 747 restaurant type idea! Especially with all the awesome old Thai Airways stuff like the 747 engine spinners and tire tables! What a great idea and an old L-1011 restaurant or bar type setup is also awesome. I cannot wait to visit Thailand 🇹🇭 and on Thai Airways someday to see these epic places!
Thanks for the ❤️ Also I have a TH-cam channel Caleb’s Aviation and I’d appreciate if you’d check it out…
Sam, This was an incredible video. It's interesting to see how Airlines negotiate with the Airports. I've been to Thailand 17 times and there's always something new to see. I'm Retired from the Military and spent 20 years in the Aviation industry. From F-14's in the U.S. Navy to CH-46's, CH-53's, Huey's and Cobras in the U.S. Marine Corps. Your videos are awe-inspiring and very well planned out. I'm always learning and seeing something new from your videos. Keep them coming.
What a cool concept, looks fun, comfortable and fun! The food looked good!
Interesting concept by Really Cool Airline!!
You always bring innovative content to your videos!
Thank you Patrick
vibing with the airline CEO is probably the best thing ever
Mate - thanks for all your hard work and quality content. Across the world, always providing the best videos. Thank you!
thank you 🙏
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 Sam...ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทยครับ , big fan of you
Loved the content as well as your Thai tour guide. She was awesome and also beautiful. Wild to have the aircraft in the middle of it all. Keep up the good work.
Hi Sam, thanks for sharing, another truly amazing adventure!
Only one word can define this video, awesome!! Congrats, Sam
Sam's videos are always filled with interesting aviation news and beautiful videography. He is always cheerful, as well as calming to listen to. This is the best general aviation channel, in my opinion. Bravo, Sam and crew 👍
Although it may look bizarre, they're (Thai) really find way to reuse and preserve those aircraft frames and seats to something useful, rather than to rot or sold to scrap... I really love the resourcefulness here... 🤩
Yes, I agree with you! Don't waste a good old plane!
@@SamChui Dozens to pick from lying around Suvarnabhumi Sam. 747s-A380s etc
I wonder if anyone has made a house / home out of an old airframe. That would be cool.
Hi Sam thank you very much for the very interesting video loved it. What a great idea having a restaurant in a plane fabulous.
Very amazing video❤👍. Thai Airways Restaurant ? Very good idea👍2 years ago. Meeting with an airline CEO in a car is quite surpising for me

Lovely to see the positivity from the airlines and airports in the conference despite of economy and Ukraine conflict 👍🏼
Very interesting to have an interview with an Airline CEO as he’s driving through Bangkok traffic 😂
My 5 year old told me this morning that he was indeed starting HIS new airline as well. Coincidentally, he chose the exact same name!
Omg you interviewed my local airport rep ❤ Edmonton has an excellent airport
Thank you Sam for this informative n amazing video.
Great video as always. Take a look at Air Diamond Cafe Chiang Mai

Thanks for sharing wonderful video congratulations 👌👌👌
Always fun to watch your videos Sam. Very informative and interesting. A fan from Sydney
Hi Mr Chui I thank you for taking time to show me and others deferent places where we have never been actually I have enjoyed thank you very much my name is Harun Mokoro from kisii Kenya one of your subscribers
Fun trip. To be honest, the first 4-5min of the video, i thought you were on a date !
The video reminds me how much i want to get back to Asia. Thank you.
Good to see the airlaines mostly comming back, but with 2 to 3 times the previous prices, it makes it now unaffordable for most to fly at this stage.
Sad to see the 747’s & A380’s on the tarmac at Suvarnabhumi airport 😢
Sam is just the best!🤩
Great content Sam, now I need to take my kids the market and the restaurant.
Thank you for sharing your experience
This was very cool video, more content like this, please. Are there any aviation related sights in your hometown? It was nice surprise to see Finnair, my home country's airline, in the fair.
Vert beutifull tour friend!!!!!
Nice aviation Vlog, Sam.
Nice video and i am captivated by Rina's beautiful eyes . ;-)
that’s why no regrets following sam’s vlog traveling around the world full of interesting value and travels… kudos sam 👍
She’s so beautiful Sam..great content as usual
Great Video Sam,Keep Up The Good Work. My Family Actually Has 2 Houses,One Near Chang Chui. I Just Remember Going Down The Train Tracks In Mom’s Old Car And Seeing That L-1011 Every Single Week. Back Then,I Thought It Was Actually A DC-10 And I Begged Mom To Let Me Go Inside. I Never Did. So,Seeing This And You Going Into That L-1011 That I Grew Up With Just Makes My Heart. ❤
Master piece 🧩 amazing 😍
There is another plane in a place north of Bangkok🇹🇭 , greetings from 🇩🇪
Hello there, loving the vlog as per usual, and the music too... Would you mind telling me the song used as from 5:28, so i can happily buy it from itunes hopefully? Thank you. Much love from the island of Mauritius...
On one video .. you mention lounge access on bkk air Free... Last time i flew they wanted additional charge from bkk to Rep.. please amend your statement.
Hey...a rep from my home and Edmonton's EIA. I sure hope he got some nice flights from here to Asia, it would be sweet, and well worth the extra cost as a passenger...thanks Sam.....cheers...
Sam great video❤
Really cool Sam, You should have checked out the golf course between the runways at Don Muang, That always surprised me
Thank you for sharing your experience with Asia airlines
Nice
Excellent as usual 👌 that's why I ❤️ your vlogs !
Fantastic content as always.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Took Starlux once and loved it!
*I went to that "gone" site in 2021, it was a family that lived there, the owner of the land let them live there but I guess now they had to move on*
You got a pretty tour guide
Which is gonna make you feel to explore more and more
What a Unique experience
Nice one 😊
The BMW i8😍😍😍😍
Sam never disappoints us, he's an incredible Content Creator and always creates masterpieces. His content is amazing.
Sam does indeed make great content. Only unfortunately always in Business class and uncritical
@@henkjanvanraikonnen5073 agreed, he should do more average airlines and more economy reviews.
and he always find a chance to talk to some hot chicks
@@peterlj613 But with his little wiener he doesn't manage much
He sure is amazing and he has done his share of economy videos too!
Sam
You should check out the jumbo jet in a market in Pattaya … it’s awesome
Epic! Making my reservations today 🤩
Welcome back sam❤ love your videos as always
There's one amazing coffee shop thai Airways 747 airplane in bangkok
Sam You should visit Guatemala Airport it's a very awesome airport the name is International airport Aurora
That was the very first airport I ever flew out of (since I was born in Guatemala)! :)
@@tookitogo Cool Man 😎
Hello Sam the airplane graveyard that I went to a lot actually is now permanently closed because all the planes were scrappped removed from the landfield
sam, your friend is so pretty😍😍
Beautiful 🤩
what...??😏😏
Please upload a video on air Canada as well
Hey Sam can you review Chinese airlines like china eastern I have been wanting to go to china for a while and need a review to see how good they are… If you do TYSM!!
Are you serious? I lived in Macau for ten years. Trains are better than airlines in mainland China. Count on minimum services, limited leg room and chronic delays on nearly every route.
Wow!!! THX for visiting BKK .
I find it very educational and informative
Chiang Mai Thailand is not far from my mom’s hometown. Thank you Sam.
Great Sam, thank you for sharing, makes a big appetite! 👍🏻✈🍲
Awesome video, so much good information. Question unrelated: will you be on the first LH424 flight from MUC to BOS on June 1st?
Awesome job sam thumb up.
I swear Sam’s been following me around… first the Korean air 747 and now Thailand!
wow starlux livery is look so unique and expensive
Excellent review
Awesome video! Any talks about bringing back direct flights from BKK to the US west coast?
I really cried after seeing all the aircrafts beeing rusted cause i love airplane
There’s a cafe using recycled aircraft parts as furnitures in near Seletar Airport in Singapore. Even the walkway/passageway is runway lookalike!
What an amazing vlog as usual Mr Sam ❤️
It’s that an Aussie or a New Zealander representing Finnair at 11:50 ? I was quite suprised!
Hi Sam, great video. I am saddened that the airplane graveyard is gone. I had planning on visiting that for years. You snooze you lose .. Oh well. Say Sam, where is the Thai Airways Restaurant? I did a Google map search and couldn't find it. Please let me know, would love to visit it. Thank for this great video! Very informative and fun.
Would love to have Rena show me around Bangkok :)
ขอบคุณครับที่มาไทย
ikhwan hidayat also come to this thai airways restaurant to!
Kia ora Sam. Consistently the best range of aviation content on your channel Sam. Greetings from New Zealand and I loved your rare cockpit view into Queenstown and Wellington (New Zealand's Extreme Flight).
Hi Sam, thanks for showing us the business sides of routes. Your the world's premeir AV vlogger--from the passenger seat to the business table. Keep on traveling...
Thank you 🙏
hello excellent report I have a question the thai airways restaurant was open during the pandemic will they keep the final concept thank you.
Refreshes Memories When Sam Goes Into The Tri-Star Jet
that's really cool mate!
Mr Sam your video very very nice
The place you went was near my house❤
We need routed to launch direct flights to mire regional UK airports
I wonder why ATC isn’t involved in route negotiations? Seems like air traffic management services should be key player.
