‘A beer for me and a juice for my DOLL!’: Thai airline to serve meals, provide seats and treat toys as humans (as long as their 'parent' has bought them a ticket)
•Thai Smile Airways to treat dolls in same way humans looked after in cabin
•Staff at airline told in memo that they 'can be treated like children'
•Owners believe 'Child Angels' have supernatural powers - airline agrees
An airline has said it will serve food and drinks to dolls - if they are booked on to the plane with a passenger ticket.
The bizarre move has been made by Thai Smile Airways to treat dolls, Luk Thep or Child Angels as they have become known in Southeast Asia, to a similar experience as human passengers.
Owners of the dolls claim they have 'supernatural powers,' and now the airline has moved to acknowledge the craze.
The dolls, that looks eerily child-like, will be expected to follow all the in-cabin rules such as wearing a seatbelt when instructed.
In return, they will be offered drinks and snacks throughout the flight.
One Thai news site has said that the dolls are 'believed to own the soul of the child, therefore, the owners put clothes on them as if they were real children, with hope that the good care the give will bring luck.'
And the Star revealed that a memo was sent to all airline staff that explained that the Luk Thep dolls 'can be treated like children because they have undergone a "spiritualisation" process that breathes life into them.'

Take your doll on holidays, what's next? This from the Daily Mail. Mental as anything.

Was going to say it reminds me of a horror story, had a quick think and thought of the same movie
I wonder if any HiSo dolls get diamond ear rings and their own Chanel handbag?
Wouldn't surprise me if a I see a woman and her daughter and a doll on a moped and the only one without a helmet is the daughter.

I wasn't going to mention it, but because you did, we live with a Doll. My Partner's Sister sells them on line. When ever the extended Family go out, the doll comes. Be it the Zoo or TESCO, it's in the bag. Some of the Family (and we are talking grown men) are scared of it. As the OP says ... Child Angel ... but maybe better translated as Child Spirit.   At Jim Thompson Farm At Swensons in Robertsons There is a lot of reasons why and if people are interested, I'll ask more questions. It's Thailand, it is what it is. |

Penetrable dolls or the chucky type pictured above

Maybe the airline executive who agreed to this was from 1950s America and misunderstood the meaning of dolls.

If you've paid for the seat you're entitled to food and drink for that seat, regardless of what's sitting there. Still you've gotta be crazy or perhaps just desperate for a child. Definitely something not quite right.
