Air Chief Marshal Kaset Rojananil was an alumni of the 5th Class of the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, Commander of the Royal Thai Airforce, a leader of the National Peace Keeping Council's 1991 coup against the government of Chatichai Choonhavan, Supreme Commander, head of Thai Airways International, and founder of the pro-military Samakkee Dhamma party. He was later demoted to general inspector of the Ministry of Defense.

As head of Thai Airways International, he famously noted that "we have received a lot of complaints that our air hostesses are not pretty enough - too old and unsmiling. And we must improve on that" He added that the airline had been hiring too many college-educated women and that "intelligent women tend to not be good looking." He hoted that he had ordered airline recruiters to screen flight attendant applications "in the way beauty-pageant judging panels select contestants."[1]
