what was annoying was on the HKG - TPE flight both C toilets were taken up by changing flight attendents for a good 5 minutes changing.

Malaysian Airlines & Singapore Air don't have "traditional" suits. and they walk around to/from airport.

another question- do most people appreciate this touch?
do all flight attendents change or just C?
They come to airport in normal uniform and chage to Thai dress before boarding. Thai dress is not worn outside the aircraft.

For HKG-TPE the reason for wearing Thai dress for such a short flight is because this is a continuing sector of a longer BKK-HKG-TPE flight.
