Hi Jayden THANK you for the video. I fly most times to Thailand on Thai Airlines and always found them very polite and helpful.
i find that it is always best to "conduct some business" before taking a shower so you can feel nice & fresh & clean right after! :D thanks for another enjoyable trip report, jayden!

Yes ! Can’t wait to watch this (I’ll re-post a new message later!!)
The wine and sparkling selection was very nice in the lounge. I always love your shower room reviews. Please keep doing them. The Thai uniforms for the flight crew are so pretty. I love your "toast" at 17:02. lol Your city VLOGs are the best. The Pan Am store is so retro. I still have my paper "stock" certificates from Pan AM. Sharing your city tours and "every day" life of you editing your videos is really a nice touch.

Great video, Jayden! Thanks for the extensive lounge tour in BKK. Lots of good options depending on your preferences. Sorry about the aircraft swap. That must have been particularly annoying for solo travelers who suddenly now had a seat mate. The service looked outstanding on the flight. Very personable. It’s amazing you got 2 meals on a flight less than 5 hours.
I love the lounges trip. My favorites are the Singapore and Eva Air ones
Hey Jayden i have been watching since 2 years thankyou for making great trip reports! I going on Thai 787 Perth To Bangkok on my fav plane Boeing 787...

Another great video by Jayden! not only they are informative, but help us to make great choices on what seats/class/airlines we would like in future. Jayden has definitely saved me money on a different video as the business class between different planes, even with the same airline are vastly different, but at the same price. Keep the videos coming :) (I am very tall 6ft female so even telling us the legroom available is great)

What a coincidence - just got home from TG433 on their 787-9. Seems like the Thai dresses are worn on flights with 6 as the flight number's first digit. I believe Thai and aircraft changes blend well like peanut butter and jelly :)
You're such a sweetheart. I so enjoy your vlogs 😊
Great report in the air and the 4 lounges on the ground. I couldn’t have resisted going into the city though with 8-9 hours. Haha ❤

Another great vlog JW Shame of the aircraft change, I'm still yet to fly the A350, mind you the 788 is still a great aircraft, the seats remind me of the similar type with Garuda offer. I'm glad you knew who your neighbour was (the tall freak)🤣 I always liked Thai, very good and you're correct not the same standard as EK or SQ, but still up there. You still make me smile when you pronounce "coat hoooook" 🤣There was a small boo boo with your landing time, FYI I think you used PM when it was AM... You've enticed us to visit Seoul!!

Yes I noticed no shower at the SQ lounge which is sad indeed but yes lots of Thai and Asian foods...❤
Ops 😅 a downsize from A350 direct aisle to B787-8 (2-2-2). But I guess their hospitality indeed made up for the change in aircraft type. Thanks for this review as I was recently looking for Thai airways flight too 🤭

Thanks Jayden. I enjoyed all of this report very much. I am hearing my town fireworks as I type. (I'm in California and it's the 3rd of July.) The announcement on the flight about bringing your own alcohol on board being prohibited , made me think they don't want a wobbly Wong on board. 😂 😏 Cheers, (in a fluted glass)

Love it and for the seats TG Royal Silk Class Stelia Solstys B787-9 A350-900 B777-300/ER beat this one a Rockwell Collins Diamond. I wonder if your mum has a star alliance FFQ if she does then it can be used here. For my family Dad has both UA and TG Mum SQ Krisflyer. Some cases TG B787-8 does do regional runs to Taipei HKG and MNL. Singha Beer is Thailand which equals San Miguel beer Philippines and Asahi Beer Japan.
Lovely Video! What is in your opinion the best lounge anywhere?

You got 'TGed' with the equipment swap lol But Thai, still "smooth as silk" 🇹🇭 ✈️
TG will only amount to this, no leading only follow a long way behind. They will never go beyond as they are still stuck in a long gone era of their own.
8:50 TG already retired all of their 773 (non ER) during COVID time so I think 11:30 flight is operated by 77W
Looks like you just experienced the "TG'ed" experience, where last minute aircraft changes are semi-common.

How did you use other Star Alliance lounges at the BKK Airport? As a Thai Airways business or as a Star Alliance Gold member?
Fun vlog Jayden Time for a hair trim mate lol 😂 If u buy all the same furniture u get a bulk purchase discount and as for the fake plants it’s a safe bet in case staff forget or cannot water correctly Silver Kris without a shower ? 🙀 Not feeling alcoholic 😂 The Turkish airways is one of the older ones in the airport EVA lounge looked nice Jayden what is the KZreadr obsession with champagne ? You Paul Stuart, Paul Lucas, Dennis Bunik, and pretty much everyone else seem to be obsessed Oh are the boarding passes still cardboard or are they paper now ? When is the Thai airways A380 first class flight ? Eewww🤢 mc d’s
Have you ever fly Hawaiian Airlines? They received their first 787 but i notice that they didn't fly it to Asia.
Is your flight to Seoul 50 to 75% full and how many hours did you sleep on the plane?
