Guess it will be a Cafe like the very popular "Coffee War, Station 331" in Sattahip, that was so popular they started charging 100 baht entrance fee. Still, seems a huge bit of land for just a Coffee Shop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now looks like the 747 will be surrounded by restaurants, food vendors etc. So, not just a coffee shop.

No big money interested to build another huge hotel currently Work actually continues on several big highrise hotel projects in Pattaya. One is right across the street from Central Festival and the other two are in Wongamat/Naklua, including Grande Centre Point 2, which will be quite big on a large plot of land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be a cheap way of avoiding the new tax on undeveloped land? Many have planted banana trees and called it a farm. (agriculture) Maybe this is an instant "building" that will become a cafe, therefore, the land has been developed. I would have thought some shipping containers and something like Tree Town may have been easier and cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to answer your question, normal planes ( the ones that fly and transport people all over the world ) are cramped, i agree, particularly if you're in cattle class. Yes, there's loads of other coffee shops but you have to remember there's probably a lot of Thai's that have never been on / in a plane, it's a ( was ) a unique idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems there will be food stalls and other shops so it will be more than just a coffee shop there. The Second Road site is quite large and there is room for a lot there. I still fondly remember my first flight on a 747 and I think they chose the perfect plane to be their centerpiece to draw locals and tourists--when they are allowed back.

The A380 is certainly a wonderful plane and my very favorite to fly in--sorry to see it being prematurely retired by a number of airlines--but the A380 is not 'The Queen of the Skies'. The A380 has not flown 3.5 billion with a 'B' people. Nor has it starred in numerous movies--and sometimes been the best thing in the movie, Air Force One excepted. As the 747 disappears from the skies it's good to know there will be one nearby and I suspect it will be a nice draw for some of those 3.5 billion fliers, as well as those who never got a chance to fly on it. What's also good to know, for Pattaya, is there is investment still going on in Pattaya's future, even in these covid times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So those who have yet to join the mile high club can now join the 5 meter high club. Some how not quite the same except for the decompression which could be similar at a stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
