A nine-month-old cat named "Nurang" (dubbed the "Suvarnabhumi orange cat") gained viral fame in Thailand for casually exploring Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
His owner brings him to the airport to prevent him from causing mischief when left alone at home, as he dislikes solitude.
Nurang, often seen sleeping in luggage trolleys and wearing a bell-decorated collar, has become a beloved fixture, charming tourists who frequently stop to take photos with him.
The cat travels to and from the airport by motorcycle, enjoying the scenery from a front basket, and has caused no issues during his airport visits.
