Thai Smile Airways announced that they will start treating dolls the same way humans are looked after in cabin, as long as their “parent” bought them a seat on-board.

Lup Thep or Child Angels have been claimed to have supernatural powers and the airline is acknowledging it. The dolls will be expected to follow all the in-cabin rules such as wearing a seatbelt when instructed and be offered F&B 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.'
