In 25 Feb 2017, it was my first trip start. The destination is Bangkok, I will take THAI to there. Due to the special price of TG, I was
booked the ticket last year. It was my TG trip after 2005, it was more than a decade. Let's look if there are any improvement or downgrade.
I was arrived Terminal 2 around 1600, you can see no queue for check-in.

Conclusion

To sum up. TG639 it was a nice flight after 4221 days when I took TG606 to HKG in 2005. 12 years ago, it used MD-11 on the flight.
Nowadays, TG using A330, A380,B747-400 and B777 in HKG-BKK.
The inflight entertainment it looks so so, but it feel outdated now. It is fine for 2 hr 30 min flight.
The food it looks like Business Class standard, this is the attraction of THAI Airways. However, the metal
tableware which was replaced by the plastic one.
The crew is friendly enough, if you have any needs. The willing to help you in smiley way.
It is nice to find out the smooth as silk in this flight.

  • Wow ! Amazing review and spookily similar to my Lahore-Bangkok report ! I loved your Royal Silk Business Class Desserts !

    • Yes, I read you report before. You flight also amazing too. I loved the desserts too.

      By the way, the beef with mashed potato is the main dish of Business Class. I guess

      it the curry rice was ran out. The FA want to make a choices for passengers, so they

      put this main dish instead of curry rice.

      Thai Airways is a lovely airline.

  • If I am not wrong, the beef meal dish plate is the business class? Is it made of hard plastic or ceramic?
