The service on board Thai Airways is excellent. I really hope they will recover from these financial issues and get back to profitability soon.

I have flown in Thai Airways once from Singapore to Bangkok in an A350. It was superb! I would say it was one of the best services an airline could offer.

Thank you for finally covering Thai Airways; it's easily one of my beloved carriers. I really do hope they make a quick recovery from the pandemic soon, and continue to deliver on the exceptional service and "Smooth as Silk" flying experience.

It’s not a secret, but the main reason of their financial difficulties is the corruption within the organisation at all levels. The lucrative routes to places like London and Paris were still loss making, despite nearly all flights were fully loaded and their ticket prices were over the top! Considering their payroll should be among the cheapest, compared to European ones for example, which should’ve created some profitable margins. They couldn’t capitalise because of the ongoing corruptions. TG’s profile is very similar to the good old Alitalia, in terms of golden days back in the 80s and 90s and highly corrupted in present days. Anyway, I genuinely hope they succeed with their restructuring plans. Their current fleet should help easing down the impact of genuine financial crisis. I also wish they would bring back A380.

Flown on 747-400, A380 and 777's from Thai over the years. The 747 was the pinnacle of comfort in economy with 34" legroom but the overriding thing that made my choice easy was the Thai in flight service. I have yet to experience the 787 on the London route, but hope to in October.

Nice and good information, bro. i hope you could make a video about Garuda Indonesia🇮🇩 sooner or later.

The service on my flight from Australia. Last week was superb. It was sad to see many aircraft parked up at the airport , I wish them good luck. Bill.

I thought THAI had many more planes! I saw on flightradar24 one day, that there was only 60-65 planes, which was not what I thought, and I realise now that most planes are parked. Wow.. but also not that fortunate for THAI.

Just flew Thai airways in July from Toyko to Bangkok after flying Air Canada to Tokyo from Vancouver both we're good flights with many transferring to Bangkok flight.First flight a little late but transfer was well taken care off.Had great time in Thailand with my sweet Thai lady stayed 30 days the max with passport look forward to flying back in January

I LOVE Thai Airways and Walt Theo to survive. I have flown with them on several occasions to Thailand 🇹🇭. Always accommodating and friendly staff

It would be interesting to look at Air New Zealand's fleet, with all the simplification and reintroduction of aircraft they are doing

I last flew on the mighty B747 in April ‘19 from Phuket to BKK . I’m glad that I got fly it one last time...

Great video! Could you do Air New Zealand soon?

Thai Airways is the only airline I’ve ever flown and I’ve grown up flying them. It was heartbreaking to hear TG had announced bankruptcy and the subsequent fleet retirements in 2020. I flew on Thai’s A350 in April and they still have the Thai touch and ‘smooth as silk’ service. Sad to see all the parked aircraft at VTBS on arrival and departure

That’s crazy bro keep up the work

Man Thai is such a nice airline! I hope it picks back up as they were always luxurious.

At 03:05...Bangkok's Main International airport, SUVARNABHUMI is pronounced SOO-WANA-POOM. The letter (I) at the end is silent.

Flown on 2 of them. A 747 and a medium sized jet i forgot the make but it was from bangkok to shanghai

Have flown with Thai Airways before. I hope they go back to profitability quickly.

I've been flying Thai since I was a kid; mainly in TG416 and TG417. #iflythai

i flew thai airways just yesterday to frankfurt and i can say the service is way better than in the pandemic (tho i didnt like flying with a boeing 777-300ER instead with an A380/50)

We have just booked a flight with Thai for mid 2023 from Melb - Frankfurt via Bangkok 777-300 Business Class. Looking forward to the trip.

Flying in to Suvarnabhumi airport a few weeks ago I noticed Thai had been storing their planes on the aprons around the airport, while most other airlines moved their planes to better climates. Now all these planes look old would probably need a lot of work to get them back up to scratch, might avoid flying Thai for a while which is annoying as I noticed they’ve started flying to my city again.

I've never realized Thai airways has no narrowbodies

Someday I want to ride Thai's Boeing 787s.🙂😉

TG use to be one of the best airlines in the world, and one of the 20 largest. The pandemic is not the main reason for the collapse. It is really down to serious corruption and mismanagement.

I’d love to see you do PAL next!

Hey can you do which alliance should Philippines Airlinee join cause I'm starting to think it might join a alliance next year or 2 years from now

I think there A380s may coming back soon because i don't believe those A380s are retired now and i cannot accept that until further news from the airline and those A380s are still stuck in there home country. same thing still with Malaysia Airlines A380s

Flew more then four times hope they recover soon

Are those A380s still up for sale and, if so, where could someone purchase one?

This is definitively the best airline for me, regarding respect, customer service and politenes in many ways !!!

Sadly it seems that corrupt conduct is the Thai way. I can't believe their own government sold its shares in the flag carrier. They could easily return the A380 into service by offering normal airfares from Bangkok to Europe/USA, rather than the extortionate prices being seen now due to all airlines price fixing and price gouging following the pandemic. So many people can't afford to fly right now, like myself, but if prices were to return to normal I'd immediately buy a ticket (along with thousands of others who are waiting for more reasonable pricing) aboard TG & their seats would fill quickly. BKK is a hub airport between Australia/NZ & Europe, and they had no trouble filling up their A380s in the past, so they'd have no trouble now. It's a matter of making the prices reasonable.

yesterday i flew on Thai airways and the tray table of the plane was super dirty because they didn't clean it and the plane was delayed and the bus was also delayed and the cup-holder was broken and the 787's window dim buttons were broken but them service was good and the pilot gave me a key chain.

I flew on their A380's in 2019, to Tokyo. It was magnificent, so i'm genuinely saddened that they're being sold. The experience was wonderful. the plane was super quiet and the service was superb. Tourists are starting to return to Thailand and the airline needs capacity to create cheaper tickets and draw customers back in as the country is keen for more people to visit. Having said that, there is ongoing issues within airline management and the bankruptcy process has made those who lost money on tickets extremely angry; they're still awaiting refunds and may not receive any, if at all, until 2024.

Love the Thai livery. So beautiful

Do Garuda Indonesia next.

Thai just announce that they will return A380 for Japan route as Japan just open it boarder, and there are high demand from Thai traveler who want to go to Japan

Please do Philippine Airlines soon. Or Cebu Pacific

It is unlikely that Thai A380 or 747 will come back into service.What will happened to them is unknown.

Please do malaysia airlines next🙌

Cool Video. I hope Thai makes a recovery

They were close to going bust, the quadjets had to go. Thai has better service than most european/ American airlines so I hope they make a full return to profitablity like Etihad.

What is the background music used for this video?

Happy to see them ordering and receiving the b777 300er I love that plane so much

sadness for the A380, to see the big bird flying anymore, now air tickets are too expensive to settle for 777... Fortunately, there are still company who have not made the mistake of getting rid of the A380.

I like Thai Air Way is the best 👍

Noe TG had merged Thai Smile with a320 20 aircrafts

Completely agree with 'whytheworld' if t wasn't for the corruption they would profitable, Alitalia being an excellent example, their 'Thai' wages bill is a pittance by comparison, and they can't make a profit.? Administration and upper executive is sucking them dry. I certainly hope they can hold it together, for purely selfish reasons, I have a 'J' class to CNX ticket held over since 2019.

Some captain come from Royal Thai Air Force "Smooth as Silk" Thai Airways

Why is this video banned in some areas?

Can’t wait 😛 to see “How To Start An Airline: Part 6”. Dead 😵 excited 😆 indeed…

Thai airways are amazing and I love their A380 ❤️👌

Thai has a bit of everything, making maintenance a nightmare.

As Thai I’m very sad 😢

BRING AT THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE SKY 😢😢😢😢

You don't need to look any further into Thai Airlines' malaise than the typically panicky and stupid reaction of the Thai government over "covid". A country that almost entirely relies on tourism went full-on medieval over lockdowns.

Clearly struggling for cash.
