Green Chicken Curry and Pad Thai are among the world’s most recognisable Thai gastronomic delights, landing on the must-try lists of most foreign visitors dining at Thai restaurants worldwide. In 2025, Thai Airways, Thailand’s leading airline, introduces innovative twists on Thai gourmet cuisine and cultural heritage, offering global passengers the chance to experience untapped delicacies alongside Thailand’s luxury amenities and services.
Discover flavour supremacy in the skies
As the “Kitchen of the World,” Thailand takes over the Sky Restaurant aboard Thai Airways’ exclusive Royal First and Royal Silk flights to Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, Beijing, and Shanghai. Featuring Thailand’s top chefs and legendary fine-dining establishments, this culinary journey is infused with sustainable values that extend to local farmers and businesses.
New premium menus feature the finest ingredients sourced from Thailand’s best producers and accredited worldwide, exceeding standard in-flight meal expectations with a commitment to freshness and hygiene.
Backed by Thai Airways’ extensive hospitality expertise, the “Tom Yum Kung Lobster Set” is specially curated for first-class passengers. It showcases a full-course serving of large succulent lobster in hot and sour clear broth, accompanied by Thai Jasmine Rice from “Chan Ga Pak”, a project under the Chaipattana Foundation.

Served alongside a selection of beverages, this premium chocolate provides the perfect finishing touch to an unforgettable in-flight dining experience.
Locals’ Most-Loved Dishes Redefined
Many Thai delicacies are often prejudged as ‘daring’ or ‘too spicy’ for foreign palates. In collaboration with renowned chef Bo Songvisava—Asia’s Best Female Chef 2013 and owner of Bo.lan in Bangkok—Thai Airways presents a fusion of local culinary wisdom with a modern twist. Signature dishes such as Northeastern sour sausage, grilled pork balls, and satay pork are now reimagined and paired with rolls or buns for a more approachable yet authentic experience.
Chef Bo, who appeared in the fifth season of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, is celebrated for her dedication to preserving Thailand’s culinary heritage and using sustainable ingredients. Her passion is encapsulated in “Taste of Thai Tales,” a new menu collection for Thai Airways, designed to offer an elevated experience of traditional Thai cuisine.
