Krabi Province is built on the Andaman Sea, and a private jet menu for Krabi starts with what the fishing boats bring in: prawns, squid, sea bass and crab. For an inflight menu this means grilled fish with lemongrass and lime, or prawns in a coconut curry with the sauce packed apart so the rice does not go soft in the tray.
Private jet food from the south of Thailand is built on curry paste, turmeric and fresh herbs. Gaeng som, a sour yellow curry, and massaman travel well as hot items; som tam and pomelo salad travel cold. These local specialities are packed per seat and marked with the seat number, and for a larger party they are laid out as private jet platters to share across the cabin.
Tropical fruit is the easy win on any Krabi flight: mango, dragon fruit, rambutan, pineapple and mangosteen in season, cut and chilled. Sticky rice with mango is the dessert guests ask for, plated cold and re-plated in your galley.
Chefs in Krabi Province cook with fish sauce, coconut milk and bird's eye chili, so we mark heat levels on the card. Spice is adjusted for the cabin, and western options sit alongside for guests who want something plainer.
