Quoting Mortyman (Thread starter): THAI and SAS have shared a long-term relationship which dates back

Someone is being all too modest....it was SAS that was hired to get THAI off the ground. Ove the early years, many a SAS aircraft made their way to Thailand to be employed by the new carrier, and a few even wore dual liveries, THAI on one side, SAS on the other.
