A few years ago, my wife and I travelled in Thai First Class from Bangkok to London on a Star Alliance reward ticket. After take-off, we were given cotton pyjamas in that unique purple colour that Thai uses. After all the passengers had changed (in the toilet, I hasten to add), my wife commented "This looks like an upper-class lunatic asylum!"

This is a fascinating thread. Sociologists in the future will find valuable source material here.
