Iripa told the Herald: "We went up to business class check-in and the member of staff on the desk looked at us and said 'sorry you can't.'
"The next thing, there were about five members of staff all around talking in their native language, shaking their heads and looking at us as if we'd committed a crime.
"A staff member then came forward and started saying 'no, you're too big, you're too big.'
"She then pulled out a measuring tape and wrapped it around my daughter Renell, moving her arms outstretched, before trying to do the same to me and Tere."
Iripa added: "Everyone was just standing staring at us. The whole thing was disgusting."

No pictures in the article, thus confirming that they were, in fact, "too big"?

Thai Airways banned passengers with waists larger than 56 inches from flying in business class in 2018 because the seatbelts don't extend to accommodate passengers of all sizes.19 hours ago
from article.

If she and her girls brought their own seat belt ‘extenders’ all could have been avoided. I have mine at home. Just in case I ever grow to that size.

To many fush and chups and KFC it's sad when you see younger girls and boys like that or bigger
