About

In Chiang Mai, Thailand, there is an Airbus A330 parked in a strip mall parking lot, and it has a cafe inside. To enter, you have to purchase a “boarding pass” at the “terminal.” Upon boarding, you give your boarding pass to the barista, who then makes your drink.

While you wait, you can put on a pilot uniform and take pictures in the cockpit. Once your drink is ready, you can find a seat anywhere on the plane to enjoy it.

Next to the plane stands a 30-foot-tall Fred Flintstone statue and an upside-down house.
