Patee Sarasin, chief executive officer, Nok Air said the airline is the only one to market Space adventures in the region.

As per the information available, for US$100,000, wealthy Thais can spend two days at a training centre in Russia or Florida before launching off for a 15-20 minute suborbital flight, which soars 100 kilometres above Earth. So far, two Thais have signed up for the space flights, according to Sarasin. The airline will market and sell the Space Adventures packages in Thailand.

if you have it to spend then why-not ?
not something that i would do,it might be a once in a lifetime experiance but $100-000 for 15-20 minutes, i would expect a good in-flight meal thrown in and no curled up sandwiches or tea that tastes of not tea !.
