WALLOP BHUKKANASUT Thai Airways is probing allegations that its executive chairman did not pay for about 260kg (570lb) of excess luggage on a flight from Tokyo Narita to Bangkok. According to various media reports, Bhukkanasut and his wife allegedly failed to pay for the excess luggage, and routed it through a special channel to avoid paying taxes and fees.
