Khiri is the exclusive agent for the Thai market for the Space Expedition Corporation which will blast off from one of two venues, either in the US or Curacao.
The cost for the trip is set at THB4.2 million but a training course must be undertaken in the Netherlands prior to the space journey.
Using a Lynx space jet, the one hour journey goes from nearly 60 kilometers to over 100 kilometers above earth.
For those tired of mass tourism space travel is now set to take on reality. It will be interesting to see who is the first Thai tourist that travel's into space?
