Thai Airways

My experience of Thai Airways ('Pure Silk', as the slogan would have it) is from an internal flight only perspective, so my review might seem a bit limited. Apologies in advance. I've used Thai 4 times on internal flights to and from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, which is about 3 hundred miles north of Bangkok, to attend conferences. Naturally I had to get to Bangkok first to take a connecting flight. The check-in staff are lovely; smiles as big as miles, and a twinkle in the eye too. The things about the domestic flights I noticed is that they use up-to-date modern airliners even for such a short trip, unlike say KLM who sometimes use older turbo-prop ...  Read the complete review

I travelled on Thai Airways to Thailand on my Honeymoon. We flew from London Heathrow to Bangkok. The seats were of standard size, though I was a little disappointed that there weren't screens on the back of the chairs, but just one screen above the seats every third row. As the flight was around 12 hours, I was looking forward to watching a couple of movies, but the lack of good films made me have to seek out my own entertainment-I managed to read two books and play endlessly on my Nintendo DS. I would suggest taking some form of entertainment with you for this long flight. I was, however, impressed by the service and standard of food on the flight.

I booked to fly with Thai airways through there own website (thaiair.com) the flights were not too badly priced considering the staff were so helpful. We flew from London to Bangkok, and despite the flight being long and us all travelling with terrible hangovers (from a heavy night out in London!) the flight was smooth and every body was very well looked after - especially for an economy class flight. The flight was only 90% full, which may have helped to make it easier for the staff to keep up. The younger hostesses are much chirpier and smiley and some are very attractive - which often keeps some people amused! The food was pretty good - for ...  Read the complete review

I flew with Thai Airways when I went to Thailand last year and overall there experience was very good. I flew out from Heathrow to Bangkok and the flight was ok, the only complaints were maybe the leg room and the TV screens were not the best, apart from this the service they offered was excellent, one of the best things about them was how friendly and helpful the cabin crew were, always on hand to help with any request, the food was ok, as good as you can expect from plane food! Once we got to Bangkok the disembarking of the plane was quick and the baggage was ready very speedily. After spending a couple of days in Bangkok I took another flight with them to Phuket, ...  Read the complete review

I flew with Thai international from London Heathrow to Bangkok. Out in economy return in Business class. Economy seats were comfortable with good leg pitch of 34 inches much better than BA at only 31 inches. The inflight entertainment was disappointing as there were no seat back tv's and only drop down screens throughout the cabin with little choice in what you could watch. As I am not that bothered with the films I chose to listen to my ipod to my own music and read. The cabin crew were excellent and very attentive welcoming each passenger on board with a wei. For dinner we were served a full five course meal in Economy with port or cognac offered ...  Read the complete review
