A recent four-hour flight from Surat to Bangkok became a spectacle of overindulgence, as Gujarati passengers took full advantage of the relaxed in-flight rules.
Gujarat, being a dry state, requires residents to get a special permit to purchase or consume alcohol, so the flight offered a rare opportunity to let loose. The passengers did not waste a moment, consuming alcohol worth ā¹1.8 lakh before the plane even began its descent into Bangkok.

One of the passengers, eager to share the experience, recorded the entire scene and posted a video online. The footage shows the jubilant crowd cheering and indulging in the endless supply of alcohol, with the flight's onboard snacks quickly vanishing.
The passengers, known for their love of food, polished off every item, including their own thepla, fafda, and khakhra, brought along in true Gujarati style.
