Flew with Thai Lion a few years ago and it's pretty decent for a low-cost, though I'm not a massive fan of their website to book a flight as filling my cc details is a way too long process to complete and they often fly at unwanted times, but the shrimp with tamarind sauce meal seems to look decent, just a shame that it wasn't properly heated.

Thanks for sharing your report.
Thank you for read my report ?
Hi, Newuno!!
Welcome on board!!
That speaks very well about you! A loving grandchild.
And that speaks very well of Thai Lion Air!! You might want to add the departure and arrival times to the flight data. Looks like you forgot to do that.
Isn't it exciting when you can see your house from the air? Sometimes I can see my city from the airplane, but it's too far from the airport to take good photos. :(
That's terrible! I would have told the FA about that.
Beautiful sight. I love aerial photos!
Wonderful architecture! That, and the possibility to walk on the apron, makes for a fantastic arrival!! Plenty of opportunities to take photos!
Thanks for sharing!! :D
Yes, I can see my house from the air, Thank you for read my report ?

Hi Newuno, thanks for sharing your first report here with us! It's nice to see a review on Thai Lion Air as we don't see those too often. The pre-ordered meal looks pretty decent, too bad some of the rice was uncooked. Was the price reasonable?
Thanks for sharing and welcome to Flight-Report!
The price was reasonable, I choose Thai Lion Air because is the lowest price when I compare with Thai AirAsia and Nok Air. Thank you for read my report.
Thanks. It's the suspended experience we sorely missed now. The shrimp look nice, (from just the look, though). I did not SL often, and on one occasion I tried to order hot food, but to no avail. Hopefully one day after this lockdown is over.
Also, nice to see you here and welcome!
Sometime, I pre-order the meal onboard for domestic flight because I would like to test it.
I want to fly too, after lockdown is over! Thank you for read my report!
Thank you for the report and welcome!
I really like Don Mueang airport, mainly because it is well-connected to Bangkok train station! It was a really interesting experience!
The meal looks good, but they serve it even for breakfast?
Thank you for reading my report.
Don Mueang Airway is also convenient for me too, because smaller than Suvarnabhumi and near my home than Suvarnabhumi.
