SINGAPORE, 26 November 2025: Lufthansa will celebrate a significant anniversary in 2026: 100 years since the founding of the first Lufthansa in 1926.
To mark this special occasion, the crane airline is taking off with an “anniversary fleet” that combines tradition and innovation in an impressive new design.
The most important sub-fleets of Lufthansa will receive their own special livery in the iconic 100-year look: the blue fuselage will be adorned with a white crane whose flight feathers merge into the aircraft’s wings. In addition to the crane, a “100” is integrated on the left side of the fuselage and the lettering “1926 / 2026” on the right side. A “100” will also be visible on the underside of the aircraft.
The anniversary fleet will be led by the brand-new Boeing 787-9 “Berlin,” registration D-ABPU, which is expected in Frankfurt in December. An Airbus A380, an Airbus A350-1000, an Airbus A350-900, an Airbus A320, and a Boeing 747-8 will also be painted in the anniversary livery.
The aircraft will gradually be given the new design, and the anniversary fleet is expected to be complete by Autumn 2026.

BANGKOK, 26 November 2025: This feature marks the final instalment of my Blue Jasmine diary, days seven, eight and nine. For nine remarkable days, the Blue Jasmine has carried us on a prestigious rail journey across Thailand, weaving together landscapes, culture, cuisine and the gentle rhythm of train travel into an experience both intimate and profound.
This closing chapter completes a journey that has taken us from Bangkok to Uthai Thani, onwards to Chiang Mai, through the ancient ruins of Sukhothai and finally back to the capital.
As the train rolled quietly into Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok at sunrise on day eight, it felt as though the circle had softly and elegantly completed itself.
The Blue Jasmine.
It was Sunday morning when we arrived in Bangkok. The metropolis was still waking, with pale dawn light resting on Hua Lamphong’s iconic ironwork arches. A handful of trains stood ready for their departures to every corner of the Kingdom. The Blue Jasmine rested beside them in dignified stillness. Some guests prepared to disembark for flights, others returned home to Bangkok, while many of us continued to enjoy the final night in the city.
These last days were intended as a gentle wind-down, a soft landing after a journey rich in culture and activity. We checked into the Montien Hotel Bangkok, a charming and convenient base for the closing stages of our adventure. Many guests took advantage of the final few hours to explore at leisure. Some looked for bargains and gifts at Chatuchak Market, bags filled with textiles, clothing, snacks and souvenirs. Others preferred a slow lunch, a quiet stroll around Silom, or to laze at the hotel’s pool.
The Chiang Mai musical event is a firm favourite, elegant, and skilful. Melodic food for the soul, peaceful and deeply restorative.
As conversations drifted over coffee, people were quick to revisit their favourite moments, and there were many. Our visit to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Chiang Mai had been one of the most memorable. The gentle connection left a deep and lasting impression. Later that afternoon, we travelled to a mountaintop viewpoint overlooking the Chiang Mai valley. Music drifted softly, families and friends posed for photographs and enjoyed the clean air and restorative atmosphere, unhurried and relaxing.
Sukhothai, the ancient heart of Thailand, offered another layer of tranquillity. After a scenic rail journey from the north, we explored the UNESCO-listed Sukhothai Historical Park, where lotus ponds, sweeping ruins and serene Buddha figures create one of the country’s most evocative cultural landscapes. That evening we enjoyed a traditional dance performance and a relaxed barbecue beneath a star-bright sky.
Skilled dancers performed a North Eastern (Isan) Thai traditional dance during our visit to Sukhothai and Chomprang.
These were not grand spectacles, just moments of grace, connection and cultural authenticity.
To fully appreciate the charm of the nine-day experience, it is worth describing the train itself. The Blue Jasmine is best understood as a prestigious boutique rail journey, offering refined comfort enhanced by elegant Thai service and vibrant Jim Thompson textiles that create an intense colour experience throughout the train. It favours prestige over opulence, blending thoughtful modern comforts with the character and romance of travel’s golden era. Rather than excess, the emphasis is on Thailand’s rich cultural heritage and a graceful sense of place. Meals are beautifully crafted, award-winning quality and exquisitely prepared to appeal, built around flavours, freshness and modern presentation. Together, these elements create a uniquely rewarding and culturally rich way to experience Thailand by rail.
Days seven, eight and nine
Day Seven: A full day in Sukhothai with pottery and goldsmith workshops, followed by a barbecue and cultural performance.
Day Eight: Morning exploration of Sukhothai before boarding the Blue Jasmine for the return to Bangkok.
Day Nine: Sunrise arrival at Hua Lamphong, check-in at Montien Hotel Bangkok and farewell riverside dinner.
Elegant farewell at Siri Sala
Siri Sala Private Thai Villa.
Our final dinner took place at Siri Sala Private Thai Villa, a serene riverside haven in Bangkok Noi. According to its own website, Siri Sala is: “Whispers of old Bangkok on the water’s edge, where luxury, privacy and serenity meet. The first and only private waterfront villa of its kind in Bangkok”.
Three restored Thai houses surround a central courtyard, with traditional gabled roofs, wood panelling and concave door frames. Set beside a peaceful canal, the villa offers a salt-water pool, lush gardens and terraces “accessible by both land and water”. It was the perfect close to a journey shaped by culture, craftsmanship and care.
DTH Travel: The nine-day Blue Jasmine Rail Journey is offered in three accommodation tiers:
• Classic: from approx THB195,000
• Premium: from approx THB245,000
• Premium Suite: from approx THB310,000
Prices are all-inclusive of hotels, train accommodation, excursions, guides and meals.

LANGKAWI, 25 November 2025: The Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) has expressed heartfelt condolences to the family of the two-year-old Russian child who tragically died on 19 November 2025 due to complications from a jellyfish sting at Pantai Cenang.
LADA issued the following statement:
“We share in the family’s profound sorrow during this unimaginably difficult time and hold them close in our thoughts. This heartbreaking incident has impacted our entire community, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

“Our hearts go out to the child’s parents, and we admire their strength in sharing their experience, hoping to raise awareness about the dangers posed by box jellyfish in our tropical waters.
“This tragedy serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the marine environment. While Langkawi continues to be one of Malaysia’s most treasured island destinations, the safety of our visitors remains our highest priority. We will continue strengthening preventive measures and emergency readiness in close collaboration with experts, authorities and our tourism community.
“LADA, together with the Langkawi Municipal Council Tourism City (Majlis Perbandaran Langkawi Bandaraya Pelancongan (MPLBP)), the Langkawi District Office and other relevant government agencies, remain fully committed to prioritising the safety and well-being of every visitor to the island.
“To strengthen our understanding and preparedness, LADA is working closely with the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CEMACS), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang, to study Jellyfish behaviour and population patterns in Langkawi waters. This collaboration allows us to introduce evidence-based safety measures and improve response capabilities for both tourists and local communities.”
In line with LADA’s commitment to public safety, several actions arebeing reinforced:
Enhancing safety advisories, informational signage, and visibility at high-traffic beaches. Increasing coordination between beach patrol teams, lifeguards, watersports operators, tourism operators, and nearby resorts and hotels. Strengthening public awareness campaigns on jellyfish activity, seasonal risks and safe swimming practices. Prioritising beach monitoring, especially during peak jellyfish seasons.
How to respond to Jellyfish stings
1. Leave the water immediately. This helps prevent further contact with jellyfish and reduces the risk of drowning due to shock.
2. Do not rub the affected area. Rubbing may cause more venom to be released.
3. Rinse the sting with vinegar (acetic acid) as soon as possible.
4. Avoid rinsing with fresh water, alcohol or applying ice directly to the wound. These actions may worsen venom discharge.
5. Carefully remove any visible tentacles, using tweezers or any material similar. Be careful not to rub the skin during this process.
6. Call 999 for emergencies; the number connects to the Malaysia Emergency Response Service (MERS), an integrated system for the police, fire, and medical services, or proceed to the nearest clinic or hospital without delay.
7. If the victim has difficulty breathing or becomes unresponsive, begin CPR right away while waiting for professional help.
“Following these steps can significantly reduce the sting’s severity and improve the chances of recovery. This tragedy serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the marine environment. While Langkawi continues to be one of Malaysia’s most treasured island destinations, the safety of our visitors remains our highest priority. We will continue strengthening preventive measures and emergency readiness in close collaboration with experts, authorities and our tourism community.”
