The huge Airbus A380
But no hanky-panky
I don’t normally envy rich people. They can have their Russian caviar and Champagne and Rolex watches. I am happy as I am.
But now, finally, I have a reason to want lots of money. It is the new Airbus A380. On an intercontinental flight I would love to fly Suite Class on Singapore Airlines. This is how everyone should fly on an overnight flight.
But the airline says you can’t have sex in your suite. What is this? You pay a fortune, they give you a private room and a bed and then you can’t join the Mile High Club? Tsk tsk.

Sex ban on the Airbus A380
Steve Bleach got the lowdown on Singapore Airlines’ ‘no sex’ rules for the double bed suites, and quizzed the first passengers
The A380 may have the world’s first airborne double bed, but it won’t be put to the obvious use if Singapore Airlines has its way: “If couples used our double beds to engage in inappropriate activity, we would politely ask them to desist,” said the company’s Stephen Forshaw. “There are things that are acceptable on an aircraft and things that aren’t, and the rules for behaviour in our double beds are the same ones that apply throughout the aircraft.”
In any case, the plane is as yet unchristened: Tony and Julie Elwood from Perth, Australia had booked the first A380 double suite, but hardly had a moment of privacy for a romantic kiss, let alone anything raunchier, as a parade of journalists came knocking on their door. Even so, they weren’t too impressed with Singapore’s strait-laced attitude. “So they’ll sell you a double bed, and give you privacy and endless champagne — and then say you can’t do what comes naturally?” asked Tony, a vigorous 76. “Seems a bit strange.”

Are they going to keep peeping into the suite to detect “undesireable” activity? Or do they have motion detectors? What nonsense. Only in Singapore, where or*l sex is now legal…but only for married couples. Amazing.

My doctor friend gets a private jet to fly him overseas to help rich clients, divine chocolates and the best wine and bedrooms, but he usually spends the entire flight time reviewing the clients diagnosis, and the return flight doing the work he missed from his hospital while flying there. I don’t envy the amount of responsibilty he carries on his shoulders. The rich are not happy, infinately more to worry about like complaining about a no-sex rule on a jet, and how to hide their money.

I’ll stick to a first class cabin on the night train to Chiang Mai thank you very much.
It’s about the same size as on the A380. It has running water, which the A380 suite lacks. The morning scenery is better than the A380. Bring your own champagne and caviar. Bring your laptop and choose your own movies. And it’s less than 2000 baht for 2, for which you get 2 single beds. But you and your friend can squeeze into one for ‘pre-sleeping’ activities, which are not prohibited.
Finally, I suspect you meet a better class of people on the night train.

I believe that for the price of one of these suites I can rent a WHOLE ISLAND for three days….
Then on MY island I can do whatever I want to to whom ever I want to during my stay….
