VS A340 in BKK

Took off early (12th July) from BKK around 1pm and saw a VS A340 parked up there.

What's the deal?

Would love to see VS into BKK....

It was apparently a charter by Chelsea FC for a pre-season tour.

How much do you reckon that would cost them?

Don't know might also be part of a sponsorship / advertising deal so at a heavy discount. Might possibly just even at cost basis.

I know the the cost of government charters (VS and BA) for then the PM goes to various overseas summits are listed on the cabinet office website.
